[QUOTE="diamondnostril, post: 1482846, member: 63791"] Hi [USER=24026]@borderter[/USER] . . . There are a selection of "Rapid" or "Short-Acting" Insulins available which have different profiles. Officially, [B]NovoRapid[/B] has a duration of action of around 4 hours, but of course this will vary between individuals. For my regular (Ketogenic) meals I use [B]Humulin S[/B] . . . this has an official duration of action of around 6 hours. There are a couple of others that have durations up to 8 hours. All of these are classified as either "Rapid" or "Short-Acting" Insulins. Hopefully the attached sheet is useful for you. I very often see the advice on this forum for people on MDI (multiple daily injections) to split their Bolus injections in order to get the timing right with their food. But I think selecting the Insulin with the correct profile to match what you are normally eating is a much better approach. I have never had any problems from any Doctor getting a prescription for 2 different Bolus Insulins . . . I use [B]Humulin S[/B] for my regular meals, and I use the faster [B]Humalog[/B] for corrections and on my scheduled binge days. Regards :) Antony [/QUOTE]
