Lantus, NPH and other slow release insulins
Dear Group,
I know that I used to use a combination of Humalog insulin, Nph (dreadful
problems with peaking) and the great Ultralente, which as far as I can tell
is a useful thing for me to keep in the fridge in case of an emergency. It
doesn’t have a peak like other slow release insulins, but just acts as a
basal rate, it was the closest thing to the pump that I could get until pump
stuff got sorted out in the UK. (it’s also known as Z humulin) It might be
worth asking Endos about if you are considering a backup insulin….
Cheers
Nicola
