I think any type one will behave pretty much as I do, since you make no insulin, without it you go to the moon fast. And, with too much insulin, you are guaranteed to crash. I always test during the night at least once, and more if the first one shows trouble. David I think the term ‘brittle’ is obsolete. I think any type one will

Most of the time, Humilog has pretty much done its work after 1 hour. David I don’t see much point in this, unless you are experiencing unusual
