Quite often our patients tell us – I do okay on my
food choices at home but I eat out every day at work, or
– If I had more time I wouldn’t have to go by
the drive-thru to get dinner 3 days a week!
We tend to scold these patients and they get frustrated.
Since we at DIABETES IN CONTROL work with patients on a
daily basis we know exactly how you feel. So we have decided
to help.
Each week we will bring you nutritional information on your
patients favorite “fast foods”.

Aventis Announces Regulatory Submission
For Rapid-Acting Analogue Insulin Glulisine in the European
Union and the United States.
Insulin glulisine is a recombinant human insulin analogue
that has a more rapid onset and a shorter duration of action
than human regular insulin. It is designed to be injected
shortly before or soon after meals. It is intended to be
used in regimens that include a longer acting insulin or
basal insulin analogue, and in some countries, with oral
hypoglycemic agents to control prandial glucose. It is intended
to be given by subcutaneous injection or by continuous subcutaneous
pump infusion.

Senate OKs Canadian drugs
FDA warns it might block imports
The Senate voted Friday to allow drugs to be imported
from Canada, where prices are lower than in the United
States, acting for the second time in as many days
to hold down the cost of prescription medication.
Even before the 62-28 roll call, the Food and Drug
Administration signaled strongly it might use its
authority to block the change, warning of a potential
security breach and saying it “cannot guarantee
the safety of the drugs.”
But that, in turn, drew skepticism from Sen. Byron
Dorgan, D-N.D., the chief sponsor of the proposal.
He said the Canadian drug supply chain was virtually
identical to the one in this country. “It’s
virtually impossible ... to make a safety issue”
out of the proposal, he said.
