This is going to raise some eyebrows in the medical community, but I have a way to get those nasty infection on your feet and legs to go away. Sure, it works best when the Dr. is also pumping you full of antibiotics, and your blood sugars are under control, but this method has worked for me for everything from leg infections to sinus infections.
When I get an open wound, or infection on my body, I take a bandaid and squirt a bunch of humalog, fast acting insulin, on it. This acts like a topical agent to reduce the blood glucose levels at that spot, and the infection goes away in a day instead of a week. I switch the bandaid out 3 times a day, so that it stays moist with the insulin. I’ve gone so far as to buy a mister, like the ones that the health food stores sell so that you can spray caloidal silver up your nose, so that I can mist insulin into my sinuses when I have a sinus infection.
I’ve talked to a lot of Dr’s over the years, and a couple of guys who were going into medical research, but no one has been interested in building me a thick, topical solution, kind of like Bag Balm, with insulin suspended in it, for diabetic wound care. I think it would work awesome and make some company billions of dollars (I want a cut, it’s my idea).

Sounds like great idea, but would misting insulin skew the glucose and cause hypo reactions ( lows )?
What would the shelf life of suspended insulin in a petroleoum base be do you think?
My daughter was diagnosed after several rounds of diffrent antibiotics were administered to clear a burn on her leg got infected. I am thinking that the antibiotics were the trigger to her auto immune response that started this off.
I’ve never notices my blood sugar dropping from using topical insulin, but there was a study done a few years ago on nasal insulin. So, the nasal spray may cause problems for a brittle diabetic, but I never noticed any.
As to the shelf life of insulin, I’ve used insulin that was 5 years past the expriation date, and it worked fine. It quits working if you leave it a hot car for too long though… I’ve found that out the hard way.
There are lots of auto immune triggers. You have a 5 times greater likelyhood of getting type 1 if you drink cows milk…
So tell me more about the milk thing…
