humalog

hi does anyone know if i can use my sons novorapid as a emergency as i run out of my humalog

Hi Deadly,
The insulin is still a QA insulin but the insulin response would be a little bit different. Using your son's insulin isn't recommended but if it was a real emergency (e.g. Unwell with high BGLs) it would be better than nothing as long as it was an unused vial and you are not allergic to Novorapid. I suggest you contact your local GP or emergency department and discuss it with them first and to always have a supply of your own insulin on hand..

Had a similar need when travelling. In the Uk you can get (humalog) insulin from your nearest hospital accident and emergency dept. They should give you enough to tide you over before you see your GP. It was very quick. If you are abroad you can do the same but it can be a little more awkward. You use your European NHS insurance card (the old E111 substitute). You could go to a GP in whichever country and get a prescription. However you will get charged at the pharmacie and at the Dr's.

People change insulins, but it is usually done with a medics advice.
