I have been on insulin since Aug 2009 and ithas bee sloly increased ever 4to5 weeks and finally we have it down to in the 200'sI take 28 units of novolin three times a day and 150 units of Lantus at bed time. The insulin is so expensive even with pres.plan i payabout 500 per month for my insulin I would like to find a cheaper insulin any body have any ideas ?Would love to hear your comments.
i have been taking it for over a year and my sugars are in the 400 to 500 i take 3 shots of novalog and 2 shots of byatta and 80 units of lantus at night
i have been using this for 4 days and my sugar has dropped over 250 pts so i would say it is working i am now in the low 200's .. i was taking byeta and it wasnt working
I use to have to use it to regualate my sugar and it worked great until suddenly my sugars dropped and I was taken off ALL Diabetic meds. Very strange time in my life. Of course did not last but at least not on regular insilin at this time, just sliding scale now and oral medication.

This medication is really made for Type 1 diabetics. I'm a type 2.
ProsIt works for type 1's better than type 2's/
ConsWorks for shorttime then blood sugars go back up not log after the body uses it.
I use a walmart brand of 70/30 which doesn't cost much and I don't need a Prescription ,plus I use a R brand of theirs as well
Prosthe R works real fast don't have to use a large unit just one unit if its over 200 it brings it down very fast.
ConsStill working with it and what I eat it will take time.
Works great for me helped get my blood sugars under control.
ProsNot difficult to use.
I'm not sure how much this is working for me as I just started using it about 4 weeks ago.
ProsReminds me to check my blood sugar regulary
ConsHaving to stop and take it before I sit down and eat
Take this by a pen. Its helped my sugar be lower

ProsWould keep me regulated with my sugars.
ConsJust that I had to take it regular.
This is the insulin I take by self loaded syringes.
ProsIt controls my diabetes well and I haven't noticed any side effects that bother me.
I've only been using this a short time as my back-up to Lantus, but for me it seems to work well in bringing my numbers down.
ProsIt works.
ConsIt hurts to inject.
This one has worked wonders on getting my sugars back where they should be.
Works Great
Consnone
I am so insulin resistant that I have to have this product along with Byetta . I have tried different insulins and this works better than most on me.
It helps me regulate my sugar easier.
ConsI have gained my weight back because of it.
