November 19, 2008 4:39 AM Less of those crazy peaks! Pros:Doesn't Peak like NPH. Long lasting. Cons:The 20-24 hour release. If you are more on the 20 hour side of it, it requires a split shot. Add to that the fact that you can't/shouldn't mix it with other insulin types and you're looking at a whole lot of shots. Also, if you misdose, you could be in for a rough ride. |
