Re: Acquiring Insulin

This is where i am currently buying my insulin. https://rxcanada4less.com. Brian is the pharmacist i work with. To buy it here locally, it is $265 per vial of novolog. This place charges $48 for the exact same thing by the exact same manufacturer. I buy bulk though since shipping is $25 up to $500 o...

Re: KVASS

Please use only organic beets. It isnt a matter of organic or not...if they are not organic, you are ingesting gmo beets. Almost all store bought beets are gmo now. Just as all sugar not marked as pure cane sugar is gmo beet sugar.

Re: High blood pressure supplements

My much better half half finished his month of supplements a couple of weeks ago and his bp has continued to stay about 136/75. We still do not know the cause but are relieved with the cure.

These are very inexpensive and have a 4.5 star rating on amazon.

I have been following this info for a while too in hopes it makes it to the usa soon. The thought of swallowing vs the pain of harpooning with the pump or needles in my belly would be welcome.

Re: Types of insulin?

Before i got the pump, i used pens of lantus and novolog. Lantus morns and nights and novolog for meals. Like you Toepopper, i could not regulate and had my highest highs and lowest lows on that program. Did it for a year until my doctor put me on an artificial pancreas pump with the constant glucos...

Types of insulin?

I use novolog only now. I am interested in learning more about the different types of insulin though. That one doctor gives a recipe on how to make insulin from pigs but i am told pig insulin is inferior to the modern insulins and is unhealthy for people. Does anyone have experience with insulin mad...

I did meet a surveyor here that buys his insulin from a pharmacy in india. I cannot imagine how it would get here in good shape but he says it is packed well. He purchases a large amount each time because the price is so low. He says it is the same name brand insulin made by the same manufacturer th...

And in my case...steroids. I have since met an even dozen of people that, like me, are now type 1 diabetics from steroids. My question is...what have they added to the steroids that now do this?

This review is right on. I bought this gun when we moved to our farm because we have so many copperheads and rattlesnakes here.
