Hi - I am type 2 diabetic and have been on insulin (lantus and novorapid) for around 8 years. I have been asked twice by my diabetic nurse to change to Humulin I. I fear this might be a cost cutting reason as Humulin is half the price of lantus. She tells me that new research has found that lantus and novorapid work well for type 1's but not so for type 2's. My long term glucose readings have not changed in the last 5 years and are always 9. I'm really scared to agree to this change. Has anyone else been asked to do this?
