[QUOTE="AlexMBrennan, post: 695131, member: 82151"] Regular insulin means older insulin identical to the insulin produced by the pancreas (which is sometimes still used in the US because it's cheaper). The insulin you are more likely to be prescribed are Humalog (insulin lispro), Novorapid (insulin aspart) or Apidra (insulin glulisine) which are very similar to human insulin but have a few molecules switched to make it act faster (which is helpful because, unlike insulin released by the pancreas, it takes longer for insulin injected into fatty tissue to take effect). These three insulins are referred to as insulin analogues and considered fast-acting. [/QUOTE]
