best insulins

[BUDGIE]

WHATS THE TWO MOST COMMON INSULIN MAKES USED BY b/b. i know people use fast acting ones but whats the favourites?

[RedBaron]

The most common would be Humalog (by Lilly, and NOT one of the Humalog Mix insulins). If that is just not an option, then an acceptable choice would be Humulin-R. It isn't as fast acting and hard hitting as Humalog, but is acceptable if there isn't another choice.

For those of you who live in countries where Humalog is unavailable, or if you simply want a European alternative, there is NovoLog by Novo Nordisk. The onset of its effects and duration are quite similar to Humalog.

I have used both, and I honestly cannot see a difference.

The injection pens both of these insulins come packaged are much more convenient for me than using slin pins. For Humalog it is called a Humapen, and for Novolog it is a FlexPen
