Insulin Glargine Health Feed

Asked for male, 59 years old from Hyderabad

Sir/madam, I am a diabetic type 2 patient. I am using humalog mix 25 insulin with insulin pen. My question is can I inject insulin in thighs? I have varicose veins in legs. So can I take insulin injection on my thigh with varicose veins?

Please do not inject directly in varicose vein. It should be subcutaneously in the area free of varicose veins.

Health Query

My wife aged 52 years is suffering from hbp since 1988 and from dm since 2008. Her sugar is uncontrolled at present. All sorts of tablets and insulin given to her does not show any result. Earlier she was taking basalog injection 20 units at bed time alongwith trejenta=duo 8. 5/1000 and gemer forte tablets. At present she is taking novo-mix 30 insulin 24 units before breakfast and 16 units before dinner. She is also taking tab-glucobay-m 25/500. For hbp she is taking olsartan-h-40 and cd-pin in morning and met-xl-50 in evening. Her weight is 49 kgs. There is no family history for hbp or dm. Her latest reports are fbs-278 and pp2bs-380. Hba1c 12. 7. Doctors say that she is having insulin-toxicity. Diet is being followed strictly. Even though we are not getting any positive results. We are confused and worried where to go and what to do. If you can advice in the case, it will be a great help. Thanks.

Although there is no alternative to insulin but being a homoeopath I will recommend you a homoeo medicine which you can take alongwith your present treatment and I think u will surely benefit vincetoxinum ( adel ) 10 drops in 1 glass fresh water empty stomach.

Dear Lybrate user,
This appears to be autonomic dysfunction due to uncontrolled Diabetes.
Better control of sugars and better control of BP with vitamins and antioxidants to be given.
Adjustment of medicines dosage will also help.

Mr. lybrate-user P Bayer, Thanks for the query.
Both Insulins are similar, having a combination of rapid acting and slow acting insulins. There is hardly any difference. Thanks.

I am Dr Anshul Varshney.
I understand your concern.
Sudden weight fluctuations in diabetes should be considered as red flag sign and you should take it seriously.
I would like to know your blood sugar levels.
Also Kidney function tests you need to get done.
