Insulin pens can be significantly easier to use than syringes and vials — but there are a few limits with pens, too. Like the dosing. Sure, it's fun and easy to twist and turn that little knob, dialing up your dose with those little clicks, but what if you want to take less than 1 unit or less than .5 units? Yes, people with diabetes need teeny tiny doses of insulin sometimes! Pens don't really offer that option. That's ONE reason why I hack my insulin pen with syringes.

Helping busy women to break up with dieting and battling weight, empowering them to nourish themselves without feeling deprived or restricted so they can feel energized and comfortable in their bodies
I absolutely love our monthly dietician meetings! It's a great space for support and of course to share expertise and discuss topics of interest. Today we debated the pros and cons of #GLP1 drugs like #ozempic, #wigovy and #saxenda which are typically used for pre-diabetes and type 2 diabetes. These drugs have become the rage with many using them for their weight loss benefits despite not qualifying as pre-diabetic or #diabetic. And then there are doctors who, despite patients being eligible, are not prescribing them. This may be due to insurance objections or for reasons that are not always clear. What do you think about this class of medication? Are you for its use? Have you tried them and had good results? Have you experienced some of the side effects like nausea and dissatisfaction with eating due to foods no longer seeming appealing? Have you considered trying them but are concerned about staying on them long-term? Have you tried it, lost #weight, and then regained it again once you have stopped the medication? Share your ideas in the comments... #clinicaldietitian #networking #professionaldevelopment #womenshealth

HOW TADACIP 20MG TABLET WORKS ? TADACIP 20MG TABLET works by blocking the effects of certain enzymes (PDE5) which limits blood flow to the penis. Therefore, it relaxes the blood vessels supplying the penis and improves blood flow and oxygen supply. For Pulomonary arterial hypertension, TADACIP 20MG TABLET relaxes the blood vessels supplying the lungs which enable the blood to flow more smoothly within them with less pressure, leading to reduction in the signs of pulmonary arterial hypertension.

Pharmacists you are needed! 👨🏻⚕️ Had a hospice patient few weeks ago being treated with glipizide, metformin and sliding scale lispro for T2DM 💊💊💊 Naturally, I was curious as the standards for treating this are very lenient in hospice Goal fasting blood glucose < 180-200 ⬇️ Past week of recent blood sugars were sub 100s, even a few low episodes ~ 60 Most recent A1C few months ago was 4.8% 😳 What I did: - Suggested to stop all agents ❌ - Suggested to stop needle sticks ❌ Overall this reduced unnecessary medications, lowered risk for hypoglycemia, and probably improved patients QOL with less sticks! #pharmacist #palliativecare #painmanagement #addictionmedicine #hospitalpharmacy #polypharmacy

ℹ️ Exploring Triple P for Erectile Dysfunction ℹ️ Ever wondered about Triple P, the compounded medication for erectile dysfunction? Let's delve into the details: 🔹 Composition: Triple P contains Papaverine, Phentolamine, and Prostaglandin E-1. When combined, these drugs promote increased blood flow to the penis, aiding in achieving and maintaining an erection. 🔹 Usage: Administered via sterile injection, Triple P requires proper instruction from a healthcare professional. Typically, patients undergo up to 12 injections per month, alternating sides of the penis for each injection. 🔹 Effectiveness: Studies show that around 80% of users experience a satisfactory erection within 10 to 20 minutes, lasting up to 90 minutes. Importantly, these erections do not impede orgasm. 🔹 Side Effects: While generally well-tolerated, side effects may include mild to moderate discomfort at the injection site, bruising, or, rarely, priapism. Proper administration and monitoring can mitigate these risks. 🔹 Storage: Due to its composition, Triple P must be stored properly to maintain potency. Refrigeration is recommended to preserve its effectiveness for several weeks. Considering Triple P for erectile dysfunction? Understanding its components, usage, and storage is essential for informed decision-making and effective treatment. Always consult with healthcare professionals for personalized guidance. #ErectileDysfunction #HealthcareAwareness
