    imo humalog is best - because it is in and out of the system faster then humilin R..
    but humalog, you need a prescription for - note: diabetics.
    thats why humilin R is the regular (both are fast acting insulins, humalog is just faster, and more efficient then humilin r - humilin r is successfull though, no doubt!)

    So should you have a longer period on Humilin R where you really watch what you eat? How long is the Humilin R active approx.?

    Humalog is best due to its fast onset time, and active life time. Humalin R's onset/active life times are longer, therefore you must watch your diet for longer which can be a hassle.

    Humalin-R onset time is about 30 minutes, and its active life time is 6 - 8hrs.
