Message: <blockquote data-quote="beckysalvage" data-source="post: 1281685" data-attributes="member: 341974">Hi all,I am a T1 diabetic, and have been for 25 years. I am now well controlled (HbA1c is around 6.8%) and I currently use Humalog Lispro and Glargine for my management. Having done a DAFNE course I carb count for my quick acting insulin. I have recently moved abroad, and here you have to pay for some types of insulin, including Humalog and Glargine. On the NHS-type system here I have been told I can get "quick acting insulin" (I am assuming some sort of actrapid) and NPH for long acting, which I have never heard of. Has anyone any experience with changing to these insulins? I haven't changed my insulin type in about 15 years so I have no idea whether it is worth it to change. I can afford financially to stay on Humalog and Glargine, but it means less money for exploring a new country, plus I already pay about $200 a month to the NHS-type system here so it seems ridiculous to not use it. Thanks for any advice,Becky</blockquote>
