[QUOTE="anna29, post: 639086, member: 30936"] :) Hi Artemis Yes I used to use porcine insulin but no longer as the onset time was getting too long before kicking in . Leaving me with too high BG levels for too long o_O I swapped 'back' to Levemir as it does have a quicker onset time (with ME) 2-2.5hours Whereas the porcine was getting up to 5.5 - even 6 hours of time before kicking in ! The reason is of course to get my rising BG levels down more quickly and prevent any complications developing . Porcine does give me a clearer head and focus . Levemir I have gradually adapted to - easier to control rising BG levels being the greater advantage for me . In terms of onset time certainly :) [/QUOTE]
