Titrate

 Remember I wrote how useless my insulin was?
A friend sent a chart today, a dosage chart, and boy it works, tons.
But I didn't eat anything since my sugar was already high, and that was a mistake.
I should have eaten *something*.
I swear I'll be mooing before too long....
The local price is twice that. Why??
"Buy one get one half off" (bah humbug)
MMMmmmooooo!!



Anyway, I was wrong, and I sort of know now why they keep saying "Titrate",
it's one of those magical things where nothing happens until the exact amount is given, then BAM


cute headline, article says nearly nothing, goes almost nowhere...
"Do nothing" "It isn't true" and yada-yada etc.
"Insulin might be bad", but before I launch into a tirade about how to get the insulin tested,
Because if it gets too warm, or if it gets too old, or too cold,
it SHOULD be tested (but how?), here's an endlessly teased story about fish oil.
Tease, commercial.
Tease, commercial.
Tease (IS IT good or not? geez)
They teased the crap out of it but they forgot it.
Maybe the film is at 11.




Just googling "Insulin/test/insulin drug test" leaves Google babbling about high blood sugar. But I got lucky and found out "Niacin" and a few other drugs can lower the efficacy of insulin (Lower-raise can be confusing, I mean that Insulin does not work as well when lotsa Niacin is there)
I take it then that you couldn't use your meter to test it, or some litmus paper, or a little color-changing-card? 
It might be good, might not, who knows, see your doctor (yeah like he can do anything about bad insulin)
Nevermind!!
But if you like to read stuff, here

If I remember to, I'll bring my vial to the doctor, but that alone might guarantee it'll be bad, because I'll stick it in a nice warm pocket.
