Amazing if you have a steady basel insulin requierment this is the insulin for you. Before I would run a bit high in the am but now that Im an adult I dont have the same hormone fluxuation. another nice thing about this insulin is your 24hr dose is the same as your 24 basel requirments on an insulin pump using humalog so you can switch between the 2 without much trouble.
