Are you going to be around for testing?
Usually we advice new memebrs with not much data to NOT shoot under 200.

Revision based on new number. Yes, skip.
If you don't have U100 needles, you need to get some. Remember tonight, .5
Hopefully this weekend you can take advantage of ths lower trend, if you can get some insulin in and still keep him safe.

In the listed link to the info about purchasing the u100 needles, can you get either of the u100 needles shown or just the one with orange cap and orange end? What does u100 mean?

Sandy, start a new thread and ask U100 questions. I never had to use them so I don't know the answers to your questions.

U100 (& U40) refer to the intended insulin concentration. That's why you need a conversion chart to use u100 needles with.u40 prozinc. u40 needles traditionally have a red cap & u100 orange. The color of the other end depends on the brand.
What you really need to look for are needles with half unit markings. If you buy them.at a regular pharmacy they should be u100s but they don't all have the.half units. I buy.mine at walmart; in most states you.don't need a prescription, although they're probably behind.the count er.
