What is the price of pen insulin in India and how much ml of insulin is required by an individual for a month or for that matter how much is expenditure on cartridge every month?

First thing; insulin doses are in units and not in ml. Each ml of Insulin may have 40, 100 or even 500 units; that is a matter of solution concentration. My mother-in-law aged 75 is to undergo cataract operation by lazer. She was unaware that she is diabetic patient. Her levels were found to be 209/384. Doctor advised insulin to ensure effective control. We got an insulin pen (Insuman-25/75 from Aventis) that was home delivered with demonstartion by local support team. The cost of pen is under Rs. 200 for 300 units. She was advised dose of 18 units before breakfast in the morning and 12 units before dinner with 1 tab of Glynase-MF in the morning. Having gone with the advise her levels in 5 day dose were 95/109. Excellant results! This amounts to almost Rs. 20 per day at her level. No two pateints are similar therefore this result and per day cost can not be generalised. Doctor is the best person to tell you the composition/ concentration/ type or dose. Initially a close watch on levels may be needed but then once in a month sampling may prove good enough. I am not a doc and may not be able to answer medical science questions any more but would be happy to assist further. Kapoor.tilakraj@gmail.com

Does insulin go bad?
Hi!! All the insulin vials or cartridges have expiry date printed on them. This date indicates the date before which the unopened vial or cartridge should be used. One the vial or cartridge is opened it should be discarded after one month,even though some insulin remains in it, as the potency of the insulin is lost over a period of time the potency of the insulin is also affected by cold and heat. Hence Insulin should not be frozen or stored in direct sunlight or heated areas. If all the instructions are followed than Insulin does not go bad. Hope i have answered your question...
