[Diabetes-talk] pumps

[Mike Freeman]

Dar:

Both of the common rapid-acting insulins (Humalog and Novolog) come in 
both pens and syringes. I believe also that both come in both disposable 
pens and pens using a cartridge.

The "rapid-acting" part refers to time of onset, not necessarily to how 
fast your blood sugar is reduced. Whereas regular insulin can take from 
thirty to forty-five minutes to start to work, rapid-acting insuins 
begin to work from fifteen minutes to a half-hour at most, at least most 
of the time.

Tell me more about this rapid insulin.
This is why I brought it up here.
Does it come in a pin like the humalog does?
They only one me on it for a short time.
Not for a long time.
My a one c this time is 5.6 so my question is,
I wouldn't want to go down so fast that I would have problems I don't 
have now?
Way to low things like that?
this is where my fears are.
thanks,
