I ask because I am having a tough time trying to get Humalog. Seems like you need a prescription even through canadian pharmacys. Everytime I hit the checkout button I go to a page where it says presription needed. I can obtain Humalin-r at my local pharmacy no problemo! I would like to get started as soon as possible if Humalin offers the same benefit and no extra dangers compared to Humalog. I know the timing issue is what is a hassle because it last twice as long as humalog. Any suggestions? Thank to all who respond.
