| Have you ever thought of a pump? Using any kind of mixed insulin in my opinion is mistreatment. Because you are allowing the treatment method to control your lifestyle. You can't give something like mixtard30 to cover your daily body produced glucose without having to eat something to cover the fast acting part of the mix. And even then, you have to eat a certain amount to cover the insulin. You can't go above or below that or you're run high or low.
That's why myself, and many others, think mixed insulins are bad. You are stuck in a schedule of this is what you give and this is how much you must eat to cover the fast acting insulin. Personally, I'd rather do 4 shots a day than be forced on what to eat and when.
