Insulin (medication)
Insulin (medication) is the use of insulin and similar proteins as a medication to treat disease. Insulin comes in a number of different types including short acting (such as regular insulin) and long acting (such as NPH insulin). Insulin is used to treat a number of diseases including diabetes and its acute complications such as diabetic ketoacidosis and hyperosmolar hyperglycemic states. It is also used along with glucose to treat high blood potassium levels. Side effects may include: low blood sugar levels, skin reactions at the site of injection and low potassium levels among others. Insulin was first used as a medication in Canada by Charles Best and Frederick Banting in January 1922.

I Want To Wake Up Me Or Not At All
by: Home AloneI've got this picture that I keep on my wall
To help remember a time
I thought that I had it all
Before I realized I wasn't who I wanted to be
Rather be something real
Than be something cheap and I...
(Start to get this down)
You've gotta run away, You've gotta find it
Oh down we go
(Try and try and stop me now)
You've gotta get away, you've gotta hide it
I'm getting better with it every day
With all the games you play
I'll make it worth the wait
We all look so much better on the outside
We all
We all
We all look
I'm looking back on all the times that I fell
Right into obvious traps that I set for myself
Before I realized I was the only person to blame
Rather go up in smoke
Than go down in flames and I...
(Start to get this down)
You've gotta run away, You've gotta find it
Oh down we go
(Try and try and stop me now)
You've gotta get away, you've gotta hide it
I'm getting better with it every day
With all the games you play
I'll make it worth the wait
We all look so much better on the outside
We all
We all
We all look
I'm getting closer to the place where I get over myself
I'm getting better with the weather almost ready to get out of my head
(Out of my head)
Out of my head
(Won't you stop me when I'm breaking this down)
We all look so much better on the outside
We all we all
We all look
I'm getting better with it every day
With all the games you play
I'll make it worth the wait
We all look so much better on the outside
We all
We all
We all look
