[QUOTE="searley, post: 2449043, member: 31377"] It works better for some people not others... something that needs discussing with your care team My thoughts ... but may not be correct... it seems that the fixed doses are more corrective especially if its taken twice daily so you'll be high between meals I don't see how you could have lunch and not be high afterwards without insulin... its less flexible as you are on fixed doses so you need to eat and exercise more based on the insulin you have Where as separate meal time insulin you adjust based on your food and activity level I guess there are many factor to take into account when the decision is made including the mental capacity to adjust the dose and learn what works and what doesnt... willingness or ability to have multiple injections a day However if you have a fairly stable life it may work well I mention the points above as the only people I've know to use it didn't have the capacity or willingness so it was considered premix to be better for them Premix certainly wouldn't work for me....... however I guess if you are on tablets with poor control and just moving to insulin that it would be an easier start and probably give you better results than the tablets alone [/QUOTE]
