Whats the difference in Humulin R and Humalog?
I have not used Regular insulin since Humalog became available years ago (Lantus is great but this is a basal or long acting insulin). Regular is variable in onset and duration and typically too slow in onset for proper prandial (post meal) gluocse control. Humalog and Novalog are the 1st truly rapid acting insulins – both of which are available in pen systems that are much preferred by all – and the use of Regular is no longer appropriate.
