l am a type one diabetic and l take novolog on a sliding scale at mealtimes and nph in the morning and at bedtime, l dont really like having to take the 12 hour insulin twice a day but ive tried lantus and ultralente and have had very painful skin reactions to both, ive been taking the nph for 4 years and havent really looked into nething else so im sure there is new insulin available with hopefully a more gentle ph balance but l just moved and cant get in to see a doctor for 2 months so l was curious to see if neone else has had skin probs with the 24 hour insulin and if theyve found a one that isnt bothersome

Personally l think the insulin pump is a better solution. With long acting insulin once you've injected it you're stuck with it. The pump uses only short acting insulin and gives you small (basal) amounts at a time 24/7 just as a normal pancreas would do then you take additional insulin(bolus) every time you eat anything with carbs. Hope this Helps.
