has anyone ever had any luck purchasing humalog at a pharmacy? is it as simple as asking the pharmacist "give me a bottle of humalog"? i've read numerous past discussion boards re: this topic, and the common theme is to sound like you know what your talking about. well, i know how much to take, why it works, but i have no idea if its as simple as just asking for a bottle, or if you need to phrase it a certain way. this may be a stupid question, but i just didnt want to sound stupid when i try to purchase this. by the way, any idea how many i.u.'s a bottle contains & how much this goes for?? ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() | ||

For some reason the Humalog is script. You can buy the HumalinR and others over the counter though. Maybe different where you live though. Give the pharm a call first. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() | ||

just call and ask. most insulin is OTC in michigan. if they say no, just hang up and you won't have to feel like a dumb ass. i know you've prbly heard this a million times, but be careful. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() | ||

appreciate the info on this. just thought of another question though. other than the humalog being a faster-acting insulin than humalin-R (& therefore more controllable), is one considered any better than the other. additionally, do you need to take this every day, or do you have off-days (like gh)? ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() | ||

hey..I think how to get insulin is covered, in most place diabetic supplies are perfectly legal....as far as usage, use it post workout, I use 25 IU postworkout, start at 10 IU and work your way up, you coudl also take it in the morning like some bro due, but post workout is more beneficial in my opinion.. as far as off days, since I tak it only post workout I use it 4x a week, with 3 days off, so i do a four day on 3 day off routine....I would like to hear someother opinions on off days as well... big-guy ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() | ||
