Living with Diabetes and Lapband

I think you have to register (but it's free, and I don't think you have to be a doctor, but not sure) anyway, I quote the part that worries me.

Reclassifying Insulins

Insulins have hitherto been distinguished as clear (short-acting) and cloudy (long-acting). However the introduction of glargine, which is a clear long-acting insulin, has prompted the need for reclassification. In view of the increasing emphasis on intensive insulin therapy using basal-bolus regimens, a new, simple, pragmatic classification is suggested in which insulins are categorised according to the timing and purpose of administration: basal (maintenance), bolus (meal) and biphasic (mixed).

I'm a member of the internet insulin pump users list, and periodically we get an email from a member who has been given the wrong insulin by a pharmacist -- they always catch it because the insulin is cloudy instead of clear.

Clearly, pharmacists are human and make mistakes. I always double check my boxes when they come in.

HOWEVER, how are we going to catch this mistake? Hopefully they won't make the mistake -- BUT THEY DO!

Shouldn't this insulin be cloudy? Or another color? Someway the poor unsuspecting diabetic has to make sure someone isn't accidently given him the wrong meds?
