[Diabetes-Talk] re question about fast acting insulin

[Patricia Maddix]

Gary,
That is fabulous. I have been reading about that insulin and have tried other super rapid insulin’s that did not work any better. I am planning to talk with my doctor about this one as well as especially after breakfast my blood sugar just seems to rise very rapidly. Does your insurance cover it reasonably and if so do you mind telling us what kind of insurance you have?
