Re:New insulin to go along with it... (Score 1)

It is possible to combine Lantus with Humalog. I'm a type II diabetic, who just recently converted from the pills to insulin for controlling my glucose levels. I was diet controlled for 3 years, but after a significant move 2 years ago I started to lose control. I've been taking different combinations of pills (all three types of medication) to regain control to no avail. I take Lantus every evening and then use the Humalog Pen for all meals. After only one week on the combination of Lantus and Humalog I'm in much better control and will probably be back in complete control within 6-8 weeks. My physician and I are trying to establish a good base level with the Lantus, and then ues the Humalog to control spikes resulting from eating. Once we establish how my body reacts to the different types of insulin I'll be able to track the carbs in my meals and use the Humalog appropriately. It's unbelieveable how diabetes has effected my life. Anything that allows me to track what is happening with my body and control it better is a Good Thing.
