[Diabetes-Talk] Lyumjev just approved by FDA for use in insulin pumps

Yes verenoic ifyou have highs it will correct or bbring the high down within 45 to an hour and you can take it before or after a meal. I don’t know how  this works but that is one good thing that my endo was telling me about when he put me on it last  year in august. Its been exactly 1 year as  I just took a look through my records for that fast rapid acting insulin.

Wow! I'm going to have a chat with my endocrinologist about this in October. Sounds like a good thing, for sure.

I just saw my endocrinologist on Tuesday and he said that just within the last week or two this insulin was approved by FDA for use and insulin pumps. For me this means that I can return to running my insulin through my Medicare part B where with my Medicare supplement I get my insulin for zero dollars. This last year I have had to run it through my part D coverage which had high copayments. This ultra rapid acting insulin is still working really great for me. Because it works so rapidly it generally prevents spikes after meals and brings a high blood sugar down in 1/3 to 1/2 the time that it did with nova log.
My doctor did not tell me about this insulin no doubt because the control of my diabetes has been quite good ever since CGM‘s but I asked him about it and he gave me a vile to try. Even though the numbers look good on paper to a doctor the roller coaster of blood sugars are bothersome and I find I feel better both physically and mentally when there’s less fluctuation.  my endocrinologist is very good and totally up-to-date on everything but as patient I feel I need to stay up-to-date on all options out there to advocate for what I feel I need. He is always agreeable to things I want to try.
Thanks to everyone on this list for sharing all your questions and tips as there is always more to learn about.
