[QUOTE="Spiker, post: 633570, member: 102150"] [USER=29301]@smidge[/USER] before I went on a pump I would inject Novorapid rather than Humalog for the protein bolus, and inject after the meal - for the reasons you give. Novorapid is slower acting, on paper and in my body anyway. When I could, I used older insulin such as the Actrapid that I started on 18 years ago, because it is slower still. Why are newer insulins almost always quicker acting than the ones they replace? Because the industry and profession think that the goal of insulin therapy is to try to handle the massive carb loads of a standard modern meal. How many R & D billions spent on that goal, when reducing carbs instead costs next to nothing. On a pump I do not need to match insulin types to food types any more, because I can bolus a great variety of different shaped insulin-action profiles with the pump. [/QUOTE]
