I hate to be fatalistic, but after a few serious insulin flub-ups lately, I just can’t seem to get [...] (Source: Diabetes Mine) Diabetes Mine blogs http://www.medworm.com/rss/comments.php?id=3063425 Mon, 07 Dec 2009 13:00:23 +0100 3063425 http://www.medworm.com/index.php?rid=2999749&cid=t_112285_134_f&fid=34841&url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.diabetesmine.com%2F2009%2F11%2Fthe-truth-about-afresa-inhalable-insulin-a-chat-with-al-mann.html Al Mann, CEO of MannKind Corp., is something of a legend in his own time.  He not only founded MiniMed, acquired by Medtronic, but also four other successful medical companies.

But when it comes to comparing insulin in the same family, say Humalog versus Novolog or Lantus versus Levemir, [...] (Source: Diabetes Mine) Diabetes Mine blogs http://www.medworm.com/rss/comments.php?id=2820511 Tue, 22 Sep 2009 13:00:55 +0100 2820511 http://www.medworm.com/index.php?rid=2249864&cid=t_112285_134_f&fid=36985&url=http%3A%2F%2Ffeedproxy.google.com%2F%7Er%2Fsugarstats%2F%7E3%2F5G_BT4ZlwbE%2F I recently tried Apidra for about 2 weeks as my endo thought it might be helpful.

The press releases and reporters were on overdrive, largely releasing the same, recycled stories containing tidbits from the ill-fated type 2 studies which also investigated cardiovascular disease -- even though that news came out months ago. Nevertheless, there were a handful of interesting findings revealed in these sessions, although I previewed the extracts about a month ago and decided that this year's event wasn't really worth a trip cross-country to be inundated with more of the same. A fair proportion (if not the majority) of the findings presented at this year's meeting weren't truly "new" findings, but those already published in ...

Or has anyone had a change in the way your Humalog is absorbed over some period of time? Of course there are a million explanations for anything in diabetes but Humalog just doesn't seem to be working for me the way it used to--it takes a very long time to start acting (at least an hour usually) and seems to accumulate and then hit me later on in the day (by pump or by injection). I assume it's just me but I've had one other friend report the same thing in the past few weeks. I've used Lilly insulin since day 1 and it has been great but I am considering switching over to Novolog or Apidra. I've tried to rule out all of the usual suspects (pump problems, stress etc.) It could also be that I'm paying a lot closer a...

They are called "fast acting" because unlike the basal insulins, Lantus and Levemir, they are absorbed relatively quickly after injection. This is what makes it possible to use these fast acting insulins to cover a meal.In theory, if you can figure out how many grams of carbohydrate one unit of fast acting insulin will cover, and if you can figure out how to estimate the number of grams of carbohydrate on your plate, you can match the insulin to the meal and get normal blood sugars.In practice this is harder than it sounds. It's tough to figure out how many grams of carb one unit will cover, especially since this amount may be different at different times of day. It is a...

Matt Beebe, Humalog Brand Leader at Lilly USA is quoted as saying "KwikPen, prefilled with Humalog and Humalog Mixtures, provides people with diabetes an exciting new option for accurate insulin dosing with the convenience of an easy-to-use prefilled pen", although its unclear just how the new product is different from Lilly's original Humalog and Humalog Mixtures prefilled pens. I cannot help but wonder if Lilly makes these, or if Hospira does (see my previous post for details)! Still, I thought I'd pass it along ...Eli Lilly and Company (LLY) Launches KwikPen(TM) for Humalog(R) and Humalog Mixtures2/21/2008INDIANAPOLIS, Feb. 21 /PRNewswire/ -- Completing an unprecedented year of...

Since 2003 at least, Lilly has had FDA approval to sell Humulin® R (and apparently, Humalog®, too) made by Hospira, Inc.'s "One 2 One Contract Manufacturing Services" (known previously as Abbott Laboratories' One2One Global Pharmaceutical Services which was spun-off as an independent company in 2004). Do you know this company? Well, if you use Eli Lilly and Company's Humulin R or Humalog, perhaps you should. The fact is that Lilly has been contracting the manufacture of vials of Humulin R and Humalog to Hospira, Inc. (which is headquartered in Lake Forest, IL), but has an FDA-approved manufacturing plant for protein in McP...

But London’s High Court threw out the case, Reuters reports. The move is a big setback Lilly, which hoped to plug a cut-price route for med reaching the US. But faced with some of the highest drug prices in the world, many US patients have resorted to Canadian Internet pharmacies, which can offer discounts of as much as 80 percent by buying drugs for a lower price from other countries. The trademarks at the center of the case were the Lilly name, as well as the drug names Cialis, Evista, Humulin and Humalog. Evista is a drug for osteoporosis and Humalog and Humulin are for diabetes. And Cialis is for impotence. In November, Lilly won a tempor...

I must apologize, but I simply forgot to do that yesterday, so I'll address that here, along with a few other miscellaneous items.Lilly Profits Up, But Few Signs of Improvement Seen in Insulin BusinessWhile Pfizer made the news for its decision to pull the plug on its inhalable insulin product Exubera yesterday, a real powerhouse in the insulin market, Indianapolis-based Eli Lilly and Company also released earnings yesterday.
