[QUOTE="TheSparkyPony, post: 196448, member: 24740"] Ironically I used to be on Mixtard 30 too :D back when I was first diagnosed in '99. I hated how little freedom I had with it though! I was on Novorapid for 4 years. Ever since I was on it, despite rigorous carb counting and a dramatically improved diet I was on around 200 units of NR per day :shock: Teamed with around 150u of Levemir per day, I was getting more and more annoyed with the huge amounts of insulin I was giving myself. I started researching other insulins, not so much the basal dose but most definitely the bolus. I couldn't cope with all those **** injections! I pestered and pestered my consultant, but he seemed happy to keep me on the insulin I was on (I figure now that it was a cost issue, as my current insulin is more expensive). However, at the beginning of the year I was finally awarded with a Humalog Kwikpen by my dr. And wow, has it worked! I am now on (roughly) half the bolus I was on originally. And my levels seem much better for it too! Not much of a case story, but if you have any questions ask away - I realise I tend to ramble rather than get to the point! x [/QUOTE]
