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.

If I remember correctly you prefer low carb eating. I forgot about that. In that case the R would probably do better for you than the rapid insulins. Although I think Lantus wins hands down over NPH any day. I found N to have too much day to day variation and an unpredictable peak.
That's too bad about the dr's. Most of the ones where I live are pretty aggressive with their blood sugar control recommendations. I'm glad you found someone who will work with you.
