Hi Dianas - I started with Regular insulin, and then went to my second doctor. He switched me to Lantus which worked for about 6 months, then I had to add Regular back in. He and my next doctor both wanted far higher/higher BGs than I was willing to settle for. We have a community clinic which I am going to now.

I do have Lispro now, just started using it. So far I am finding that I like Regular for my bolus dosing. It has a nice profile to cover meals, and is slow coming on so you don't have to pay a whole lot of close attention to timing. Currently my BGs average a little below 90.
