[QUOTE="_dja20, post: 1185418, member: 220975"] I have been reading all this with interest. I have had type1 for almost 50 years. Beginning with 2 injections of soluble insulin (fast acting) then going on to Lente zinc suspensions which was only one injection a day. Seemed ideal but unfortunately was not very successful. Urine tests of the time mostly bright orange. Beef insulin was the main one of the time, things move on, I tried the human ones, not suitable, so have used porcine for many years. During all this time I have tried to find a pattern. This has proved to be totally impossible. In some ways I would like to be using all that is now available like Tim, but I have actually concluded, as is suggested in some of these posts, that ones systems vary and react in different ways, that all circumstances will probably never repeat themselves exactly, and that therefore though very interesting, it is just not worth taking on doing extra injections, ie. going on to a basal/bolus system is just not worthwhile. However, I do wish that I could get hold of a c.g.m. for just a couple of weeks to give my fingers a break. [/QUOTE]
