| Taking NPH once a day is what the old (in my case...1960's) medical community thought was right...and they were very wrong. NPH & Lente are only intermediate acting insulins...but in the old days, they were considered "long acting" since that's all that existed.
Lantus would be a more modern insulin for you to take. It also eliminates that horrible peak that NPH/Lente contains. (Lantus doesn't have a peak, but it varies slightly and some call it a peak...more of a ripple...)
Lantus does have a 4-hour start up...so when it plateaus at 4 hours, some people will feel that level if they are taking too much...but that's not considered a peak.
Just info on what took me years to figure out! |
