this is an old type of Insulin and most hospitals don't carry it, so, if you go to the hospital, you have to use your own supply - they won't have it for you.

this is an old type of Insulin and most hospitals don't carry it, so, if you go to the hospital, you have to use your own supply - they won't have it for you. But, does it work? yes and very well with very good results. I was on this by my own request for 2 years and had a 110 mg/dl average consistent! Then something happened in my body and I had to raise up from the 50 units I had taken for over 2 years. I went slowly up to 94 units. There is where I stopped because for the first time in my Diabetic life, I found out what R can do and it scared me. I dropped fast! That 47 units of Humulin R in the 50/50 mix dropped me low quick and I didn't like that! So, I asked the doctor if I could go to N and R (vial of each) and that way go up a bit more with the N and go lower with the R and that has worked (for me). 50N/44R and I have to take Avandia 8mg. Yeah yeah, I know about the scare, but Avandia is the ONLY thing that works for me. Actos - ha ha what a joke! Same with Januvia (for me) Read More Read Less
