As a loose fill material applied in attics, install baffles to keep the material away from soffit vents. The baffles will also prevent wind from the soffit vents through blowing the insulation. Don’t cover recessed light fixtures unless the fixtures are certified to accept insulation. Cellulose insulation can be effectively used in wall cavities in new construction. As a dry loose-fill wall insulation, it could settle. Wet-blown insulation offers superior insulating qualities and can be trimmed by hand on walls before installing drywall. Moisture control is critical with wet-blown insulation as overly moist insulation requires a longer drying period before a wall can be closed up. Wet blown insulation offers excellent performance.

Moisture control is critical with wet-blown insulation as overly moist insulation requires a longer drying period before a wall can be closed up. Wet blown insulation offers excellent performance. 2.0 CFCs
CFCs or HCFCs are found in extruded polystyrene foam boards, isocyanurate foam boards, phenolic foam boards, and polyurethane blow-in insulation. Expanded polystyrene rigid insulation at a higher density of 2 lb./ft3 (normal density is 1.0 lb./ft3) performs similarly to extruded polystyrene. Expanded polystyrene does not contain CFCs or HCFCs. It typically uses pentane as a blowing agent and has some recycled content. (See the Engineered Sheet Materials section for alternative insulating sheathing materials.)

This insulation is fire proof, insect proof, and non-toxic. Trained installers must be used. The material expands as it sets and can crack walls if installed incorrectly. The material contains a lot of water and will need a drying period before a wall can be closed up. The material is friable (easily crumbled) when dry. 5.0 Perlite
Can be used in concrete to make an insulating lighter weight concrete. Predominantly used as a pour-in loose-fill in cores of concrete block.

“My brother, who is in the construction trade, recommended Banker Insulation and I’m very glad I went with them. Just had additional cellulose added to my attic to bring it up to code (1985 build), and also in a new wall after changing windows out. Banker Insulation was responsive and their work was excellent. They were careful with my home and extremely professional.

What is Expanded Polystyrene (EPS) foam? The possibilities are endless! Expanded Polystyrene (EPS)
What is Expanded Polystyrene (EPS) foam? The word Styrofoam™ is often used to describe expanded polystyrene (EPS) foam; however, ‘Styrofoam’ is actually a trademarked term for closed-cell extruded polystyrene foam made for thermal insulation and craft applications. EPS foam is the correct term for any form of expanded polystyrene. Expanded Polystyrene insulation is a lightweight, rigid, closed cell insulation. EPS is available in several compressive strengths to withstand load and back-fill forces. This closed-cell structure provides minimal water absorption and low vapor permanence. Commonly used as insulation for walls, foundations and roofing, there are many benefits to selecting EPS products:

EPS is available in several compressive strengths to withstand load and back-fill forces. This closed-cell structure provides minimal water absorption and low vapor permanence. Commonly used as insulation for walls, foundations and roofing, there are many benefits to selecting EPS products: • Long-term R-Value (“R” is the resistance to heat flow)
• Energy efficiency
• Constant thermal resistance
• Measurable energy savings
• Strength
• Sustainability
• No growth of bacteria, nor will it decay over time
• Dimensional stability
• Chemical inertness
• Low cost
A cost efficient, high performing alternative to extruded (XPS) foam, EPS is the perfect choice for many insulation and construction applications. Have You Seen the LITE? The Manufacturing Process
EPS is created in a two-stage process: Raw beads are expanded using steam, creating pre puff beads, which are then cured in large bags before being conveyed to the mold. Once in the mold, the pre puff beads are again steamed to form a block that is anywhere from 37-1/2″ – 54″ x 49″ x 121-1/2″ – 220″. The blocks are then placed on the storage floor to age for the appropriate length of time before being cut into various shapes and sizes.

In 1994 ICA installed a pentane collection system for air quality control. The system captures the pentane that is released during production and reroutes it through our boiler. This reduces the amount of natural gas we use, saving natural resources while being environmentally responsible. We continued our efforts to be mindful of our environment by installing solar panels and replacing our lighting with energy efficient fixtures. All of these actions help to keep the air of our planet cleaner and lessen the impact of landfills on the population.

Refractory materials
According to DIN 51060, these are materials which have a Seger cone drop point greater than SK 17 (about 1500°C), but this definition has practically no meaning. In general, refractory materials are ceramic materials that are used permanently at temperatures above 600°C. The materials are grouped in oxidic or non-oxidic refractory materials. Oxidic materials are mostly based on SiO 2, Al 2 O 3, MgO, CaO, ZrO 2 and Cr 2 O 3. The most important non-oxidic refractory materials are carbon or carbides and nitrides for special applications. The materials are distinguished in: unshaped products (e.g. refractory castables)
shaped products (e.g. refractory firebricks)
heat-insulating products (for example high temperature wool)
functional products (e.g. kiln furniture)
High temperature insulation
High temperature insulation products are used in industrial applications to minimize the heat/energy loss. These insulation materials have a porosity >45%. High and fine porosity leads to low thermal conductivity. We dedicate a complete page on thermal conductivity later (work is in progress).

Insulating fire bricks
Insulating fire bricks (IFB) belong to the group of thermal insulation bricks. IFB are shaped refractory products with an application temperature of greater 800°C and a total porosity greater than 45%. Insulating fire bricks are classified according to ASTM C155, EN 1094-2, ISO 2245 or JIS R2611. Insulating fire bricks are mainly used in shuttle kilns, tunnel kilns or lab kilns. Further fields of application include heat treatment furnaces as well as petrochemical plants such as reformers/cracker furnaces or combustion chamber linings. Production
Raw materials
Insulating fire bricks are aluminum silicate refractory bricks, silicate bricks or lightweight corundum bricks. The most commonly used refractory bricks are from the group of aluminum silicates. The chemical composition has a direct influence on the classification of the refractory bricks. In general, the higher the alumina content and the firing temperature of the insulating firebrick, the higher its classification temperature. Raw materials based on Al2O3, SiO2 and CaO. CaO is typically used for anorthite refractory bricks.

CaO is typically used for anorthite refractory bricks. Raw materials are clay, kaolin, kyanite, mullite, (light) chamotte, sillimanite or andalusite. Alumina, alumina hydrate and corundum in the form of hollow sphere corundum are also used for refractory bricks with high classification temperature. The thermal conductivity is defined by the total porosity as well as pore shape and pore size distribution. The porosity is produced by burnout materials and water. Burnout materials are e.g. Sawdust, styrene bubbles, coke or cellulose.

Raw materials and burnout materials are optionally mixed dry and/or mixed with water. The amount of water depends on the shaping process. The bricks are formed by casting, slingering, extrusion or dry pressing. For the casting process large molds are used and blocks/hoppers are casted. The casting compounds are processed directly after mixing.

Shaping and firing of insulating fire bricks
Raw materials and burnout materials are optionally mixed dry and/or mixed with water. The amount of water depends on the shaping process. The bricks are formed by casting, slingering, extrusion or dry pressing. For the casting process large molds are used and blocks/hoppers are casted. The casting compounds are processed directly after mixing. Water-binding raw materials extract water from the slurry and support the setting of the green body. The process can be accelerated by adding gypsum or cement. Due to the high water content, the drying of the green compacts takes a correspondingly long time. Light weight bricks with high porosity can be produced this way. In addition, foam or foaming agent can be added to increase the amount of pores.

Due to the high water content, the drying of the green compacts takes a correspondingly long time. Light weight bricks with high porosity can be produced this way. In addition, foam or foaming agent can be added to increase the amount of pores. Soap or saponins are used as foams, while metal or carbide powders are used as foaming agents in the processes. The slingering process is a continuous process in which the masses are slingered in large molds or on a conveyor belt. Insulating fire bricks of medium density can be produced this way. Masses which are used for the extrusion process, undergo mulling after mixing. Water-apsorbing raw materials can saturate with water till an uniform moisture is reached in the mixture.

The masses are then extruded through a mouthpiece, cut to size and dried. Dry pressing is usually done uniaxial. The pressing method is suitable for the production of bricks with a high density. The shaping process and the porosity agents cause typical structures of the insulating fire bricks. Firing of the refractory bricks is done in shuttle or tunnel kilns.

The properties of the aluminumsilicate refractory bricks result from the chemical composition, the pore formers/density and the firing temperature. Higher Al2O3 content and higher firing temperature of the firebricks result in higher the classification temperature. Classification temperature is the temperature at which a shaped refractory material is allowed to shrink by a maximum of 2% after 24 hours of firing. The upper application temperature of the materials is usually about 100K below the classification temperature. The thermal conductivity of the final product depends on the chemical composition, density and pore structure. Insulating firebricks with low density and fine pore structure have a low thermal conductivity. The pore structure and density are largely determined by the manufacturing process.

Fine burnout materials and a high water content in the process lead to a finer structure of the firebrick. This can be supported by using a foam/foaming agent. However, the density cannot be reduced endless. There must be sufficient structure in the green body to dry and burn it crack-free. The diagramm shows typical thermal conductivities of different IFB groups.

The cold compressive strength is specified as a characteristic value. The “hot” properties of the material must be good enough to support walls and arches at the desired application temperature. Hot bending strength or creep under load are characteristic values for the use at high temperatures. Thermal shock resistance limits the heating and cooling rates.

What is a Megger Test? The Megger test is a method of testing making use of an insulation
Insulation Tester
resistance meter that will help to verify the condition of electrical insulation. This is certainly not a new test, and has been in use for a number of years. One of the reasons that it is still such a popular option is because it is nondestructive. The test does have a limit of between 500 and 1000 volts, so it may not always be able to detect some insulation punctures. It will usually show the amount of moisture, the leakage current no the moist or dirty areas of the insulation, and winding faults and deterioration. The best way to make sure that you have the right information and readings is to make sure that you are using the right test equipment. Fortunately, quite a bit of high quality equipment is on the market today. Buy Megger Tester

Rigid-foam insulation packs a lot of R-value into a thin package, but not all rigid foam performs the same. Choose rigid insulation wisely, and consider the effect its characteristics will have on the performance of the your project, overall product cost, and the best way to get the bang for your buck. Expanded polystyrene (EPS)
•The most versatile of the three rigid insulation options
•Used in Roof, Wall, Floor, Below Grade & Structural GeoFoam applications
•Used most widely in insulated concrete forms and structural insulated panels
•Highest average R-value per dollar (about 4.6 R per inch) – costs the least, while meeting or exceeding all required building and energy codes
•Approved for ground contact, below grade applications and can be treated to resist insects
•Does not retain water over the long term
•Should be used over house wrap, or with a product that incorporates a factory laminated option
•Available faced or unfaced
•Faced products are considered vapor retardant and specialty products are considered vapor barriers
•Warrant 100% of R-value over the long term since does not degrade over time
Extruded polystyrene (XPS)
•Easily recognized by its blue, green, or pink color
•Falls in the middle of the three types of rigid-foam insulation in both cost and R-value
•Used most in walls or below grade applications
•Recyclable, and at about R-5 per inch, costs around 42¢ per sq. ft. for a 1-in.-thick 4×8 panel
•Comes unfaced or with a number of different plastic facings
•Unfaced 1-in.-thick has a perm rating around 1, making it semipermeable
•Thicker and faced is stronger and can have a lower perm rating
•Considered a vapor retarder, not a vapor barrier
•Absorbs more moisture than other insulation over the long term, and as a result its warranty doesn’t honor R-value retention over the long haul
Polyisocyanurate (Polyiso, ISO)
•Most often used in roofing applications
•Average cost of 70¢ per sq. ft. for a 1-in.-thick panel (may vary based on region)
•Standard R-Value of R 5.8 per inch
•The manufacturing process starts with liquid foam
•Not recyclable
•Has to be sprayed against a substrate to form a rigid panel, so all ISO panels are faced
•Different facings affect the performance of the panel in both durability and perm rating
•Foil-faced panels are considered impermeable (because applying these products as sheathing creates an exterior vapor barrier, they never should be used with an interior vapor barrier)
•More permeable panels are faced with fiberglass and can be used without creating a vapor barrier

Understanding rigid foam insulation for foundation and under-slab applications
Contractors are increasingly called upon to install rigid foam insulation under concrete slabs and on building foundations. Up to one-quarter of a building’s energy loss is due to lack of insulation in below-grade areas, including the foundation and under slabs. Now that high-performance building envelopes are common above ground, the relative amount of total heat lost below grade will grow if these spaces are not addressed. As a result, superintendents increasingly will encounter below-grade and under-slab insulation on all building types. To help increase understanding of how two common rigid-foam insulations perform in these settings, this article evaluates moisture absorption and thermal performance. It also discusses installation procedures for below-grade and under-slab insulation. Rigid foam insulation
Two common rigid foam insulations specified for below-grade applications are expanded polystyrene (EPS) and extruded polystyrene (XPS). EPS
An easy way to recognize EPS on the jobsite is that it is commonly white. This insulation is made of expanded polystyrene beads fused into sheet stock and blocks of various densities, compressive strengths and sizes.

An easy way to recognize EPS on the jobsite is that it is commonly white. This insulation is made of expanded polystyrene beads fused into sheet stock and blocks of various densities, compressive strengths and sizes. Historically used as a stable roof insulation, EPS has gained wide acceptance in wall, below-grade and under-slab applications due to its low-moisture absorption, strength and stable, long-term thermal performance. EPS insulation blocks can be custom-cut into a variety of shapes and sizes to meet wide ranging job specifications. Building professionals have used EPS successfully in below-grade applications for decades. As of 2013, the International Code Council explicitly permits EPS throughout frost protected shallow foundations, under slabs and any other below-grade application. XPS
To make XPS, manufacturers combine and melt polystyrene with blowing agents and additives, then force the liquid mixture through an extrusion die in a continuous feed, where it is shaped, cooled and trimmed to size.

The product is most commonly available as boardstock of fixed size and thickness. Manufacturers often tint XPS a primary color for brand recognition. EPS insulation absorbs significantly less moisture than does XPS insulation according to studies of real-world installations. Moisture absorption and thermal performance
There is much confusion in the marketplace regarding whether EPS or XPS insulation resists moisture better. This is a key point, as wet insulation has lower thermal performance.

There is much confusion in the marketplace regarding whether EPS or XPS insulation resists moisture better. This is a key point, as wet insulation has lower thermal performance. While manufacturers of both insulation types tout that their products have lower moisture absorption, in-situ tests indicate that EPS performs better in this regard. For example, in 2008, Stork Twin City Testing – an accredited independent testing laboratory – examined sheets of EPS and XPS removed from a side-by-side installation after 15 years in service on a below-grade foundation in St. Paul, Minnesota. The XPS was significantly wetter on extraction, with 18.9 percent moisture content by volume compared to 4.8 percent for the EPS. After 30 days of drying, the XPS still had elevated moisture of 15.7 percent, while the EPS had dried to 0.7 percent. The U.S. Department of Energy’s Oak Ridge National Laboratory also reports high moisture absorption levels for XPS.

The U.S. Department of Energy’s Oak Ridge National Laboratory also reports high moisture absorption levels for XPS. In a 2012 study, the lab reported “all samples of XPS insulation gained much more moisture during the 15 years of contact with soil moisture.” The resulting loss of energy savings performance was 10 percent for a full basement (“deep basement”) and 44 percent for a slab-on-grade installation. By comparison, the U.S. Army Cold Regions Research and Engineering Laboratory found EPS buried in wetted soil for 1,000 days absorbed only 1.7 percent moisture by volume, which is substantially lower than the XPS rates noted above. Installing rigid foam insulation below grade
On building foundations, the insulation (whether EPS or XPS) is installed over the damp/waterproofing, after that layer has adequately cured. Crews can use mechanical fasteners or polystyrene-compatible adhesive to attach the insulation.

On building foundations, the insulation (whether EPS or XPS) is installed over the damp/waterproofing, after that layer has adequately cured. Crews can use mechanical fasteners or polystyrene-compatible adhesive to attach the insulation. Applying a bead of polystyrene-compatible caulk or mastic to the top of the insulation board minimizes water infiltration behind it. For under-slab applications, the rigid foam insulation typically should be installed over a gravel base, with a poly vapor diffusion retarder between the gravel and insulation. Additional insulation is applied along the edges of the slab, because that is a primary surface for heat loss. To avoid damage to the insulation, it is necessary to ensure removal of any jagged surfaces or irregularities in the substrate before installing the rigid foam panels. In either case, it is important to confirm all details with the insulation manufacturer and local building department, and to ensure appropriate construction techniques to drain water away from the building.

CGMs Can Be Durable Medical Devices, CMS Rules
Craig Idlebrook January 13, 2017
0 935 2 minutes read
On January 12, the Centers for Medicaid and Medicare laid out criteria for a continuous glucose monitor (CGM) to be considered a “durable medical device.” In doing so, federal regulators opened up the possibility that Medicaid and Medicare programs could cover at least some of the cost for qualifying CGMs and supplies. The ruling makes clear, however, that not all CGMs qualify for this new distinction. Only those that the FDA declared accurate enough to be a replacement for fingersticks in making decisions on insulin dosing will be covered. While most CGM owners already use the devices to replace fingersticks, only the Dexcom G5 Mobile has been declared a fingerstick replacement by the FDA. Therefore, the G5 Mobile currently is the only CGM on the market to be defined as a durable medical device under the new CMS ruling. Read “FDA Approves First Receiver-less CGM.” This rule change comes less than a month after the FDA decision on the the G5 Mobile, and one can assume that the FDA ruling influenced the timing of the CMS decision. This past year also saw FDA approval of the Medtronic 670G, the first automated insulin pump system on the market; the 670G technology depends upon an integrated CGM for making automatic insulin delivery adjustments.

Such regulatory wins for CGM technology most likely weakened the case for denying coverage for CGMs. The CMS ruling makes clear that CGMs not approved as replacements for fingersticks still will be considered “non-therapeutic” CGMs. According to the FDA, these CGMs should officially only be used to supplement fingerstick readings. It seems likely, however, that CGM makers will now set the bar for the same FDA approval granted to the G5 Mobile, opening up the possibility for more CGM models to be covered by CMS in the future. It appears that CMS will not cover the full cost of purchasing a CGM, however.

It appears that CMS will not cover the full cost of purchasing a CGM, however. Under the new guidelines, CMS will pay between $236 and $277 for a CGM receiver covered under the FDA criteria in 2017. A Google search on January 12 finds that the Dexcom G5 Mobile transmitter alone is priced above $700. CMS also will cover some costs for the replacement of sensors, transmitters, and “all other accessories and supplies essential for the effective use of the receiver.” The monthly coverage for supplies for a qualifying CGM will be $248.38 in 2017. The press release states that coverage limits for both the CGM and supplies will rise in 2018.

Read “FDA Panel Recommends Expanded CGM Use.” It should be noted that this ruling comes in a time of uncertainty for Medicare, Medicaid, and the health insurance industry. Republican lawmakers who will control Congress and the Executive Branch have vowed to repeal and replace the Affordable Care Act, which expanded Medicaid coverage in many states, in 2017. It is currently impossible to know how changes lawmakers make to health care policy might affect CMS coverage. You can read the CMS ruling here.

How Stress Hormones Raise Blood Sugar
Scary movies, work stress, and trauma of any kind all cause your liver to release stored glucose to support natural 'fight or flight' responses

Last weekend I decided to stay up late and watch a scary movie. It had something to do with super-gross vampires who get their jollies by eating the flesh of unsuspecting hotel guests. Anyway, after the final gut-wrenching, heart-pumping scene, I decided to check my blood sugar. I’ll be darned – it had risen about 200 mg/dL (11 mmol) during the movie. With blood that sweet, I felt like the grand prize for any vampires that might happen to be lurking in my neighborhood. As you may be aware, the liver serves as a storehouse for glucose, keeping it in a concentrated form called glycogen. The liver breaks down small amounts of glycogen all the time, releasing glucose into the bloodstream to nourish the brain, nerves, heart and other “always active” organs. The liver’s release of glucose depends largely on the presence of certain hormones. Of all the hormones in the body, only insulin causes the liver to take sugar out of the bloodstream and store it in the form of glycogen. All the other hormones—including stress hormones, sex hormones, growth hormones and glucagon—cause the liver to secrete glucose back into the bloodstream.

All the other hormones—including stress hormones, sex hormones, growth hormones and glucagon—cause the liver to secrete glucose back into the bloodstream. Growth hormone is produced in a 24-hour cycle and is responsible for the blood sugar rise that we sometimes see during the night or in the early morning. The other “stress” hormones, particularly epinephrine (adrenaline) and cortisol, are produced when our body needs a rapid influx of sugar for energy purposes. The glucose rise I experienced during the scary movie was no doubt the work of stress hormones. Emotional stress (fear, anxiety, anger, excitement, tension) and physiological stress (illness, pain, infection, injury) cause the body to secrete stress hormones into the bloodstream. For those without diabetes, the stress-induced blood sugar rise is followed by an increase in insulin secretion, so the blood sugar rise is modest and temporary.

For those of us with diabetes, however, stress can cause a significant and prolonged increase in the blood sugar level. Anxious moments and nerve-racking situations happen to all of us. From speaking in public to test-taking to a simple visit to the doctor or dentist, many events elicit a stress hormone response that causes, among other things, a sharp blood sugar rise. I once experienced another dramatic blood sugar rise when I was late for an important meeting, hit a pothole and got a flat tire, then discovered that the spare tire was also flat. Without the slightest bit of food, my blood sugar rose almost 300 mg/dL (17 mmol)!

What causes a great deal of anxiety for you might have no effect on someone else. The key is to look for patterns. Is there something that causes a consistent blood sugar response in a given situation? It can be helpful to record the causes of your high blood sugars in your written records, and then tally the causes to determine whether specific situations account for a large number of high readings.

One of my clients did this and found that high blood sugars were occurring every time he watched a horror movie on TV or saw one at the movies. Apparently, the stress hormone response to the sudden appearances of the knife-wielding maniac was driving his blood sugar up. Many anxious moments occur spontaneously. However, some can be predicted. And if you can predict it, you can prevent it.

However, some can be predicted. And if you can predict it, you can prevent it. If you notice a consistent pattern of high blood sugars during certain events, consider giving yourself a small dose of rapid-acting insulin an hour or two prior to the event. This will help to offset the stress hormones produced in anticipation of the event as well as during the event itself. If you wear an insulin pump, consider raising your basal rate using the temp basal feature. A 60 percent to 80 percent increase for three hours, starting an hour or two prior to the event, can work nicely. (excerpted from Think Like A Pancreas:

Expected lifetimes for people with type 1 diabetes are still less than the average population but better therapies have helped a lot
Emma Dunn May 19, 2016

A new study on life expectancy and Type 1 diabetes has brought results that can be seen as glass half-empty or glass half-full. The bad news is that life expectancy for people with Type 1 is still shorter than that of the average population; the good news is that people with Type 1 are living longer than ever before. For the study, Australian researchers used government data to measure the life expectancy of people with Type 1 from 1997 to 2010, according to a report in Diabetes in Control. By the end of the study period, men with Type 1 had gained an average of 1.9 years in life expectancy, while women with Type 1 had gained 1.5 years in the same time period. People with Type 1 still had a life expectancy that was 12 years shorter, on average, than that of the average population, however. Researchers attribute the gains in lifespan to rapid medical advances, emerging research, and deepening understanding of Type 1 diabetes. When it comes to children with Type 1, more children are being diagnosed earlier, and intensive insulin therapy is beginning at a younger age to get blood sugar levels under control. Also, insulin pump and blood sugar monitoring technology has improved greatly in the 21st century, creating the possibility for better long-term blood sugar control. With the promise of the development of new therapeutic techniques and smarter pumps, there’s hope that the gap in life expectancy between those with and without Type 1 can continue to close.

We receive many questions about over-the-counter insulin, so we decided to ask certified diabetes educator Jennifer Smith of Integrated Diabetes Services (IDS) about it. Here’s her answer: Today, most prescriptions for those using insulin cover the most up-to-date types of insulin – basal insulins such as Lantus and Levemir, as well as rapid-acting insulins like Novolog, Humalog and Apidra. Read “Can I Use Insulin Past Its Expiration Date?” When you buy insulin over the counter (OTC), these brand-name insulins are not available. ReliOn Brand of insulin at Walmart is available without prescription in some states. However, it includes very limited types of insulin. These are the older generation of insulins, including R insulin, also called Regular (a short-acting insulin and N insulin (an intermediate-acting insulin taken twice a day).

Having an insulin back-up plan in case you find yourself with an outdated prescription or short on funds is important. It would be beneficial to discuss with a health care provider how to go about using these generic OTC insulins before you have to use them, however.

Basal insulin analogs typically work longer and more evenly without a peak in action, unlike the intermediate-acting insulin that has to be taken two times a day. R and N insulin types require users to have a bit more stability to their meals and daily activities due to the action time of the insulin. It should be emphasized that insulin is a must-have medication for those on insulin therapy. Without it, blood glucose will rise to dangerous and life-threatening levels.

In the case of a prescription. It’s good that there is the option to get an OTC insulin quickly and at a low cost. However, understanding how to use it in time of need is also important to ensure blood glucose regulation. Integrated Diabetes Services provides one-on-one education and glucose regulation for people who use insulin. Diabetes “coaching” services are available in-person and remotely via phone and online for children and adults.

Yes, OTC insulins are available but these older-generation insulins have different action profiles that you need to consider when treating

Ohio Bill to Safeguard Insulin Access Passes
Craig Idlebrook December 11, 2015
0 277 2 minutes read
Update – 12/28/2015 – The legislation has been signed by the governor, and will become Ohio law early in 2016. This past week, Ohio legislators passed a bill authorizing pharmacists to fill expired prescriptions for some lifesaving medications, including insulin. The bill was partly in response to the 2014 death of an Ohio man with diabetes, Kevin Houdeshell, and was championed by his family. The legislation would authorize an Ohio pharmacist to provide a refill of certain medications, even if a prescription has expired, if it is determined by the pharmacist that failure to fill the prescription would significantly impact the health of a patient. There are several caveats that were inserted into the bill: A pharmacist must attempt to contact the medical provider who wrote the prescription. He or she also must have the prescription previously on record. The amount of drugs dispensed generally shouldn’t be more than what is needed to get someone through 72 hours, although it can be filled for up to 30 days. The emergency refill can only be done once in a 12-month period. Pharmacists will be barred from using this new power to refill expired prescriptions for some controlled substances.

The bill was championed by the Ohio Pharmacists Association. Its spokesman, Antonio Ciaccia, says the measure will help pharmacists ensure the health of patients when physicians and other medical providers are out of contact. “This provision will reduce some of the hassle of pharmacists having to move heaven and earth to reach the doctor in the event the patient needs the meds. As long as the pharmacist makes a good attempt to reach out, if there is no response, the pharmacist can dispense without issue,” Ciaccia said in an email interview with Insulin Nation. Ohio Governor John Kasich has 10 days from when the bill is delivered to him to either sign the law or veto it;

The law will take effect in 90 days from the governor’s signature or 90 days past the 10-day gubernatorial waiting period. It passed both chambers of the Ohio legislature with very strong bipartisan support. This bill will help people with diabetes and other medical conditions deal with the dreaded situation of running out of needed prescription medication over a weekend or during holidays. It is believed that Kevin Houdeshell tried to refill his insulin prescription on December 31st, 2013, but the prescription had expired.

He was unable to contact his doctor because of the holiday, despite attempts on January 1st and January 2nd. It is not known why he didn’t attempt to use non-prescribed insulin, which is often available at Wal-Mart, or go to the emergency room. His family says he was still trying to come to terms with his recent diagnosis of insulin-dependent diabetes. Kevin was found dead in his home on January 8th, 2014. His father, Dan Houdeshell, and the rest of his family have been advocating for this bill since his death.

They garnered support from several influential legislators, and the bill passed within 14 months – which is considered a very quick turnaround in the legislative process. Dan Houdeshell was weary, but grateful, the day after the bill passed. Although this bill was very much a personal mission for Dan Houdeshell, it seems unlikely that his days as a patient advocate are over. “We can’t thank the Ohio legislators enough,” he said in an email interview. “ I am getting lots of requests now from so many states and lots of discussion going on across the country,” he said.

Although the bill gives more prescribing authority to pharmacists, Ciaccia does not believe there will be a legal challenge to the new provisions from other state medical organizations.

Sanofi Moves to Block a Generic Lantus…Again

They say the first step to getting yourself out of a hole is to stop digging. At Sanofi, company officials may believe the first step is to fortify and refortify the hole. This month, Sanofi filed a patent lawsuit against fellow drugmaker Merck & Co. to block the latter company from releasing a biosimilar insulin that is supposed to copycat Lantus, according to a FiercePharma report. If this sounds familiar to you, it’s because Sanofi filed a similar lawsuit against Lilly in 2014; that suit was eventually settled in 2015. Lantus is Sanofi’s cornerstone product, a popular long-acting insulin that has been steadily losing marketshare in the face of increased basal insulin competition. For a period of time, Sanofi was able to raise the price of Lantus at will and see their profits rise, but that party began to end in 2015 as insurance payors pushed back against price hikes and Lantus’ marketshare was under siege from increased basal insulin competition. Sanofi first tried defending its position by suing Lilly to block release of a biosimilar. This had the effect of freezing the release of Lilly’s insulin in the U.S. Sanofi lawyers were eventually able to wring concessions from Lilly, including future royalties and the promise not to sell the biosimilar until the end of 2016. Such a move, while it did little to help Sanofi’s public standing, made sense to buy time for Sanofi to establish its new basal insulin formula, Toujeo, which was released in April 2015.

However, Toujeo sales have failed to take off, especially as Sanofi has stubbornly refused to discount the drug during its initial rollout. Meanwhile, payors are getting even more tired of Lantus prices; CVS Health announced in August it was dropping Lantus from its formulary, according to FiercePharma. If the Lilly lawsuit was a delaying tactic, the Merck lawsuit feels more like a shakedown. Sanofi officials can’t reasonably think that Toujeo sales will suddenly take off with a bit more time, and they haven’t made any rumblings about having a better insulin tucked away in their pipeline.

This move might just be an effort to get Merck to agree to pay royalties like Lilly did. That may be good for the bottom line, but this seems like the wrong time to pull a digging-in-your-heels move like this. As evidenced by the Mylan EpiPen hearings, politicians right now are out for the blood of pharma execs who may be price gouging to keep up stock shares. The mainstream press is already casting around for a new drug company villain, and several reporters have begun analyzing inexplicable insulin price increases to see if the insulin industry is behaving like Mylan. (Btw, reporters, welcome to the party.)

By filing the lawsuit, Sanofi slows, if not blocks, the sale of a generic basal insulin that would have helped lower out-of-control prices. Let’s hope in the long run, insulin company execs get the message that this kind of move will no longer fly. Thanks for reading this Insulin Nation article. Want more Type 1 news?
