[QUOTE="TorqPenderloin, post: 1130492, member: 211504"] I agree. I've never been on mixed myself, but it's amazing to me that it's still prescribed to people. It's 30+ year old technology and the only value I can (personally) see is that it's very cheap. The problem with mixed insulin is that you're essentially forced to eat the same foods at the same times every single day in order to have good control. Any deviation from that would mean you're either giving yourself too much/little bolus (fast-acting), and/or too much/little basal (slow-acting). By moving to a 2-pen management system, you gain control of being able to correct one without necessarily affecting the other. [/QUOTE]
