Pig insulin
Hello Stephanie,
The beef/beef-pork is what I used for the first 20-25 years with regular. Total of 1 single shot per day…. <SIGH
The long acting insulins are unpredictable creatures. However, the beef pork is FAR more volitile than the recumbinant <sp.?
Now having said all that, based on what you wrote… consider taking it easy on the “anything she wants”… business. She’ll have lows and will bounce high(er) caused by the lows later on. How hard she bounces, or how hard will depend on a lot of different factors. Just be cautious of over treating. It’ll take time to get you the “thick skin” to not do the very understandable “protective parent” thing. Don’t sweat any of it too much… this is hard enough as it is… give yourself some time to figure out the approach. Panic will harm her and you didn’t… that takes serious guts, GOOD JOB!!!!
Try getting the tiny tubes of cake icing or the gluctose gel tubes are IDEAL.
They fit in your purse, the car, anyplace you can possibly imagine needing or wanting one and are absorbed on contact because they are a gel. No chewing or drinking required. Ideal in combative or seizure type situations… Heck they even work in pools, or rivers, scuba diving… there’s no place they won’t work. And they fit into your pocket and can bend nicely too.
Consider this…
Jeff
