Hmm.... I've seen people try to kill themselves with insulin.  So unless I know why you're asking, answering this questions seems a bit WRONG.

a novel use for an API in a drug delivery system?  kind of a vague question... but you could use the example of inhaled insulin.  it is an API (insulin) and it is in a novel delivery system (inhaler) as opposed to injections.  Generally, a novel drug system could be some kind of cancer drug in a nanoparticle or liposome that will target the cancer area.

No, my friend has type 2, and he is fine after a couple. Dont indulge, but ask your doctor how much you can safely have. Also, have your insulin close by incase you drink too much.

150 is a good round number to go with.  Anything over 120 is considered high but your never no if you are level or moving up or down.  If you recently ate a meal and took insulin give it a chance to kick in and check again in 20 mins to see where you are headed up or down.

People with Diabetes have a Pancreas that either produces very little or no insulin. People with type 1 diabetes take insulin and this can come in many forms... I am a type one diabetic and i have been since my 12th birthday (7years ago) (late birthday present!!) I started off on 2 injections a day which was a basic insulin called Mixtard 30 which was awful as I was at more risk of Hypoglacaemia's aka "Hypo's" (a low blood sugar) I am not on 2 short acting insulins and Glargine (a 24hour long acting insulin) which i find is much easier to manage with fewer hypo's.\n\nType 1 Diabetics do not produce enough or no insulin at all so they have to fully compensate their body by injecting insulin! (this tends to be people under the age of 40 years old or people over that age who are very poorly controlled on their Type 2 medication which is tablets, then they will be transfered onto insulin injections.\n\nType 2 Diabetics have a pancreas that will produce insulin but in small amounts or when it is not needed. The tablet medication they take shall cause the pancreas to regulate and produce insulin when required (after eating a meal) (this is why the tablets should be taken before a meal to get a chance to work).\n\nThere are many types of insulin and there are many types of tablets for diabetic patients and the main thing that people forget is that when you have a cold or feel ill go to a pharmacy and  please remember that your diabetic medication may interact with some medications that you can buy in stores so i would reccommend that it is best that you go to a pharmacy and seek proffessional advice and not just buy a cough medicine or expectorant from a superstore as the P medicines ONLY SOLD bechind a pharamacy counter are stronger!

Short term only and quick acting.\nUsually taken 15-30 mins before a meal.\nGiven in addition to long acting Insulin\n\nMy opinion, works but only replaces the short rapid insulins taken before a meal.

http://www.drugs.com/insulin.html\n\nWhat are the possible side effects of insulin aspart? \n •  Rarely, people have allergic reactions to insulin. Seek emergency medical attention if you experience an allergic reaction (difficulty breathing; closing of your throat; swelling of your lips, tongue, or face; or hives). \n •  The side effects of insulin therapy result mostly from blood sugar levels that are either too high or too low. You should be familiar with the symptoms of both high and low blood sugar levels and know how to treat both conditions. Also, be sure your family and close friends know how to help you in an emergency. \n •  Low blood sugar may occur when too much insulin is used; when meals are missed or delayed; if you exercise more than usual; during illness, especially with vomiting or diarrhea; if you take other medications; after drinking alcohol; and in other situations. \n •  Hypoglycemia, or low blood sugar, has the following symptoms: shaking, headache, cold sweats, pale, cool skin, anxiety, and difficulty concentrating. \n •  Keep sugary candy; fruit juice; or glucose tablets on hand to treat episodes of low blood sugar. \n •  Increased blood sugar may occur if not enough insulin is used, if you eat significantly more food then usual, if you exercise less than usual, if you take other medications, if you have a fever or other illness, and in other situations. \n •  Hyperglycemia, or high blood sugar, has the following symptoms: increased thirst, increased hunger, and increased urination. \n •  Monitor your blood sugar levels and ask your doctor how to adjust your insulin doses if your blood sugar levels are too high. \n •  Side effects may also occur at the site of injection. If the area becomes thickened, hard, or pitted, talk to your doctor before injecting at that site again. \n •  Side effects other than those listed here may also occur. Talk to your doctor about any side effect that seems unusual or that is especially bothersome. \n\n\n\n\nWhat other drugs will affect insulin aspart? \n •  Many drugs can interact with insulin or affect blood sugar levels. Do not take any other medicines, including prescription products or over-the-counter medicines or supplements, without first talking to your doctor or pharmacist during treatment with insulin.

I assume that you are speaking of a child with type 1 diabetes in which case the only treatment is insulin often in the form of an insulin pump.  Diabetes is not fun but beginning about 5 years ago really good insulins have become available.  We now have nearly ideal basal insulin (to control fasting glucose) and truly rapid acting insulins (to control after meal glucose).  There are a variety of pen systems and pumps available.  All of the machines to test for blood glucose are equally good.  Joslin in Boston has a nice website.  Type in Joslin Diabetes and click Search.

I created a thread answering this question on another message board recently.  That can be seen here:\n\nhttp://forums.slickdeals.net/showthread.php?sduid=24638&t=246909&\n\nBasically, I wear a pump.  It infuses insulin into me continuously, and when I eat, I type in the amount of carbohydrates I am eating so I can get a larger amount of insulin to cover for it.\n\nI test my blood sugar 8-10 times a day.\n\nI have to carry my pump, syringes, extra insulin, meter, and glucose tabs with me all the time in case I go low or high.\n\nI see my doctor for blood work every 3 months of so.  Lately it has been less.

Minimed's pump was not the first.  I went on insulin pump therapy in February of 1981.  The pump, by a company long out of business, was 4"X8"X1", held two day's worth of insulin, and had no memory.  P.S. I have used Minimed's pumps since 1984 - they may be the best, just not the first!

There are many different sizes of syringes. Many different styles too. The same can be said for IV tubings. They all vary depending on the intended usage.  Insulin is injected into fatty tissue just under the skin most often on the inside of the thigh, or abdomen. A very small syringe, usually about 1cc, is used. A very fine gauge needle is utilized which minimizes the discomfort.

if you are in the USA, the Walgreens I go to has a very good section of meds and supplies for diabetics.  I have used the Diabetic Tussin for colds.  There are different varieties for different symptoms, congestion, cough, night-time,etc.  \nSince diabetes is an epidemic of sorts, I would imagine the big pharmacy stores would be carrying diabetic medicines soon if not already.\nI also ask the pharmacist about over the counter meds because they should know.
