Curex is the place to go for all your allergy questions and needs. Led by healthcare entrepreneurs and allergy clinicians, Curex is an integrated, online telemedicine clinic for people who suffer from environmental allergies (e.g., indoor, outdoor or pet), asthma, and eczema.

Curex is the largest online allergy and asthma clinic in the U.S. We started because our clinicians wanted to offer more convenient and affordable allergy and asthma care for everyone. So far we have attracted more than 50,000 customers from every U.S. state. We are proud to have the highest patient satisfaction and loyalty rates in the industry. Our service has been audited and certified by LegitScript.com.

What services do you offer?

Curex provides comprehensive care for those suffering from allergies, asthma, and eczema. This includes customized sublingual immunotherapy, at-home concierge allergy testing, and symptom management. Our goal is to provide accessibility and quality of allergy care in the U.S.

Does Curex accept insurance?

Curex accepts the majority of insurance plans across the United States, including Aetna, Anthem, United, Humana, and others. While it is difficult to estimate out-of-pocket costs prior to a claim being submitted, our team will work with you to make sure your treatment is as affordable as possible. For that purpose, we also cap copays at $500/year. In addition, Curex accepts HSA and FSA.

What conditions do you treat?

We focus on indoor and outdoor allergies caused by environmental or inhalant allergies, like those caused by pollens, weeds, grasses, dust mites, molds, and pets. We also treat allergic asthma and eczema, as these conditions are closely related to allergies.

What is immunotherapy?

Immunotherapy is a longstanding form of treatment that aims to meaningfully reduce the underlying cause of indoor/outdoor allergies and related conditions. It is frequently practiced by using allergen extracts for shots or allergy tablets. Treatment plans are customized to the individual patient based on medical profile, test results, and lifestyle needs.

Can my child use Curex?

Curex serves adults and children as young as 5 years old. Certain tests and treatments may be limited for younger kids. Start by answering the quiz, so that our clinicians can recommend the best testing and treatment options.

Does Curex treat food allergies?

Curex currently treats allergies to tree, weed, grass pollens, pet allergies, dust mites, mold, and cockroach. We do not treat food, metal, venom, or flower allergies.

What is your cancellation policy?

Treatments are shipped in 3-month installments in all plans. Cancellations are accepted prior to the next refill being compounded by the pharmacy (so you can get a partial refund on a prepayment plan). To cancel or pause subscriptions, please email our team at hi@getcurex.com.

How does allergy testing work?

Depending on your location, we send a phlebotomist (medical assistant) to your home or office for a simple blood draw (not a finger prick). This sample is then processed using hospital-grade technology to produce accurate results. In some areas, you may need to go into a local lab for your blood draw. We work with LabCorp and Quest Diagnostics. This is an IgE blood test that results in more accurate results compared to finger prick tests that are available online through some companies. This is not a skin scratch test where an allergist spends 30+ minutes injecting you with small doses of allergens to see if any swelling or reaction occurs.

Is sublingual immunotherapy safe?

Studies have shown a significantly lower risk for anaphylaxis relative to allergy shots, allowing you to take them in the comfort of your own home. If recommended by your Curex-affiliated clinician, or if you prefer, your first dose may be monitored to ensure proper usage. Clinicians will also assist in helping you manage any side effects that you may experience.

How to Recognize if You're Allergic to Insulin

Recognizing if you have an insulin allergy involves observing specific allergic reactions following insulin administration. The following steps can help identify an insulin allergy.

Watch for Immediate Allergic Reactions

Skin Reactions: Look for hives, redness, or itching at the injection site immediately after the injection.
Swelling: Notice any unexplained swelling around the injection site.

Identify Delayed Allergic Responses

Localized Reactions: Observe for any responses like persistent rash or itching around the injection area occurring hours or days later.
Systemic Symptoms: Be aware of symptoms such as fever or joint pain that might occur later and are not related to other causes.

Assess Respiratory Symptoms

Difficulty Breathing: Monitor for any breathing difficulties or shortness of breath that occur shortly after receiving insulin.
Chest Tightness: Pay attention to any sensation of pressure or tightness in the chest.

Consult with a Healthcare Provider

Professional Diagnosis: Obtain a professional diagnosis through tests like skin prick tests or blood tests specific for insulin allergies.
Monitor Treatment Response: Discuss possible alternative insulin types or desensitization protocols with your healthcare provider.

Tips for Avoiding Insulin Allergy

‍

Use Human Insulin

Consider using human insulin instead of animal-derived insulin, as many allergies are linked to impurities found in animal insulins. Human insulins, which are synthetic, have a lower risk of causing allergic reactions.

Gradual Dosage Adjustment

Start with a small dose of insulin and gradually increase it under medical supervision. This approach allows your body to get accustomed to the insulin, potentially reducing the risk of an allergic reaction.

Monitor Injection Sites

Regularly rotate your insulin injection sites to prevent skin reactions and the formation of antibodies, which can lead to allergic reactions. Avoid injecting into the same site repetitively within a short span of time.

Allergy Testing and Medical Consultation

Consult an allergist or healthcare provider for allergy testing before starting insulin therapy, especially if you have a history of allergies. They can provide personalized advice and alternative insulin options if necessary.

Diet to Ease Insulin Allergy Symptoms

Focus on Low Glycemic Foods

Include leafy greens like spinach and kale. They help manage blood sugar levels.
Consume whole grains such as quinoa and oats to stabilize insulin response.
Add berries like blueberries and raspberries for their anti-inflammatory properties.

Incorporate Healthy Fats

Use olive oil and avocado, which can improve blood sugar control.
Include nuts like almonds and walnuts for a healthy fat source.

Boost Fiber Intake

Eat legumes such as chickpeas and lentils for high fiber content.
Add chia seeds and flaxseeds to meals to promote insulin sensitivity.

Stay Hydrated

Drink adequate water throughout the day.
Incorporate herbal teas as caffeine-free options.

What Food Worsens Insulin Allergy

Managing Insulin Allergy involves being mindful of certain foods that might exacerbate symptoms. Below are some types of food to be cautious about.

High-Sugar Foods

Consuming foods high in sugar, such as candies and sweetened beverages, can increase insulin production, potentially worsening allergy symptoms.

Refined Carbohydrates

Refined carbs like white bread, pastries, and white rice can rapidly increase blood sugar levels, leading to increased insulin demand.

Dairy Products

Some individuals with insulin allergies may also be sensitive to dairy, which might exacerbate their symptoms.

Processed Foods

Processed foods often contain additives and oils that can trigger inflammatory responses, increasing allergy severity.

Allergy FAQ

‍

What alternative therapies exist for insulin allergy management?

Alternative Therapies for Insulin Allergy Management

**Desensitization**: Gradual increase of insulin doses under medical supervision to build tolerance.

**Antihistamines and Corticosteroids**: To control allergic reactions alongside insulin therapy.

**Use of Insulin Analogs**: Switching to human or fast-acting insulin analogs can reduce allergy incidence.

**Insulin Pump Therapy**: May help in delivering smaller and more controlled doses, lowering allergic responses.

**Immunotherapy**: Considerable for long-term treatment; Curex Immunotherapy is a recommended option.

Can insulin desensitization be effective for managing an insulin allergy?

Effectiveness of Insulin Desensitization

Insulin desensitization can be an effective approach for managing an insulin allergy, especially when other measures fail.

This process involves gradually administering increasing doses of insulin to help the immune system tolerate it.

Desensitization should be conducted under close medical supervision in a controlled setting due to potential allergic reactions.

Such interventions aim to eventually allow patients to maintain glycemic control without allergic symptoms.

How does one differentiate between an insulin allergy and insulin resistance?

Differentiating Insulin Allergy from Insulin Resistance

Insulin Allergy: This is an immunological reaction to insulin, characterized by symptoms such as local inflammation, rash, or systemic reactions like anaphylaxis. Skin tests or antibody assessments may be used for diagnosis.

Insulin Resistance: A metabolic condition where the body's cells do not respond effectively to insulin, often requiring higher insulin doses. It is usually identified through elevated blood glucose levels despite insulin therapy and assessed by measuring insulin sensitivity.
