[QUOTE="WuTwo, post: 2026511, member: 87354"] I use humalog and levemir. My surgery wouldn't fund a half unit humalog pen (I got told they were only for the children!) so I bought my own because I very much like the additional control I get from half units. The Levemir pen is the Echo mentioned by [USER=488171]@evilclive[/USER]. It was a few years ago so it may be that half unit pens for humalog are available on the NHS now. I hope so - the one I have will last a few years yet but it wasn't cheap and I've no reason to think the price will go down and if possible I'd like help to buy the next one. The book I use as an instruction manual is Using Insulin by John Walsh and others. It's brilliant but pre-dates pumping so unless they've updated it, the book won't help any pumpers at all. It has an excellent chapter on basal testing and the info in it works for me, The section on working out ratios was very useful too! In fact, the whole book was a T1 education in itself. In fairness I would say it's nowhere near as easy to read as Think Like a Pancreas but I much preferred its textbook style. [/QUOTE]
