Fun you mention it! I tested out the Humalog myself and benchmarked it up against the NovoRapid which I still use today. I found that for me personally the Humalog had onset and peak like 30 minutes later than then NovoRapid. And as you also remark, the tail effect was also showing 2-3 hours after, while the NovoRapid for me burns out in max one hour. So for me the Novorapid is easier to dose with for the type of food I like and eat the most. And maybe also the best rapid weapon in our arsenal to take down an incoming chocolate bar missile?
Interesting that about the difference in them there, and I'd like a quicker action and a shorter tail
I was reading up on this but stopped as our CCG hasn't commissioned it and I think we've had enough of each other for this yearIf you get chance to try Fiasp give it a shot, halved my pre-bolus times across the board! It apparently doesn't work well for everyone compared to Novorapid but I've been impressed with it. For meals with a bit of fat (medium not high) I employed a new tactic of taking the dose in 2 places - one in the stomach/arms and one in the leg to slow it down a bit.
