[QUOTE="Daibell, post: 703507, member: 21149"] I think a lot of it is personal preference by the diabetes nurse/team and not based on exact science. Whilst there are differences between Lantus and Levemir they are small and looking at posts it seems it's around 50/50 usage for the two Basals. NovoRapid seems to be the most prescribed Bolus. I think my DN wanted me on Levemir and said she was using my gym visits as a 'reason' for prescribing it rather than Lantus (perhaps it costs more). She said Levemir had a flat daily profile, which it doesn't, and showed me NovoDisk's chart to prove it. If you Google the web you can find a 3D chart which isn't flat. At least most insulins work very well for most people. [/QUOTE]
