[QUOTE="fractureman, post: 619114, member: 49864"] Hi Rebecca Humalin I is an Old Old insulin was replaced by 24 hour acting insulin (Lantus or Levimere) some years ago. Humalin I has a curved peak so the over lap between doses can cause issues. This is maybe the problem you are having. The newer Lantus etc is a 24 hour acting at a constant rate. It is used to keep background levels constant then use Lispro at meal times. It's called DAFNE on here but I call it the way forward. Control is better achieved. It does take 4/5 lessons (groups) & lots of re education. Carb counting etc. As once the Basal (lantus ) is set right. The ratio (carbs eaten to units of Lispro 'quick acting') can then be worked out. Lantus is generally given to males or women not wishing to convince children. Levemire is the long acting given to women of child bearing age as lantus can't be used ;) Hope this helps ;) [/QUOTE]
