NPH is really an outdated insulin. It use to be heavily prescribed but due to the peaking effect it has it is now only specially prescribed to those who need it. Lantus has no peak to it, so it's a safer insulin.

Diabetes is an Art, NOT a Science. You must master the control by skills and not by knowledge alone.
