LAST MONTH We Asked:
In last month’s edition of Diabetes Bites, we asked you to name one of the preservatives that is used to protect insulin from spoilage.
And the winner is… Cathy Colburn of Houston, TX, USA, for being the first person with a correct answer!
ANSWER:
Phenol
We would have also accepted metacresol and phenoxyethanol. Given how many people got this one right, next time we’ll also ask for the chemical structure (not really).

What blood sugar (in mg/dl or mmol) is the renal threshold for glucose for most people?
