[QUOTE="Spiker, post: 532314, member: 102150"] Actrapid is a synthetic human insulin rather than a genetically engineered insulin analogue like Humalog and Novorapid, so it's an earlier generation of insulin and would not be faster than Humalog, it would be slower. The insulin that would be faster than Humalog is apidra. Who is refusing you apidra? A GP or a diabetes specialist unit? Your point should be that you are getting temporarily high blood sugar after meals. They may say this doesn't matter of course. You can say to them, well what's the harm? They will say, increased risk of hypos (which is true). You need to convince them you will manage that risk, through testing. And actually do it. :-) Sent from the [url=http://www.diabetes.co.uk/app/?utm_source=sig&utm_medium=txt&utm_campaign=appsig]Diabetes Forum App[/url] [/QUOTE]
