Only fast?

I have a doubt.

Does any case usually occur in which fast insulin is more useful and it is not necessary to get slow?

Thank you!

I just get fast (Humalog)

I last 6 or 7 hours the effect and it covers me all day, the slow (Lantus, NPH, Levemir) does not barely make an effect of putting 100 units.

Thank you.
Observing my graphics I think it's what I am going to need.

I would not do it without consulting a specialist endocrine, each is a world.Be careful to see if you enter ketone bodies for doing those things.

Of course, it would never occur to me ... it was simple curiosity;)
I am stable throughout the day, even at night, but I have peaks (some quite marked) after meals.
Enter ketone bodies?That happens when you have very high glucose, right? I understand that if you are at the "normal" levels that would never happen, right?

The peaks after eating are logics susceptible to improvement.The other glycemia between them the nightly must be monitored.To see if that treatment fits.

You can also have ketone bodies, having a normal blood glucose, imagine that you are stable in 90 you do not eat and not having slow consume any glucose, if you do not put insulin, those 90 would not be available for cells, with which your bodyNot having glucose that GEASA would burn, with the consequent appearance of ketone bodies.

@Amélie, if you have peaks after meals, you'll surely need fast on meals.And maybe you could reduce the slow dose., But staying alone, it seems complicated.
If you have type1, you have to use the two types of insulin.
Being type 2, other treatments can be done.

Hello everyone
We often discuss whether this or that insulin is better, than if one or another basal, fast, ultra -grape or an analogue.That leaving aside commercial names.It seems to me that this should not be the discussion.The most appropriate insulin would be the one that resembles the most to which our own body produces, that is, the most physiological, and that, as far as I know is the rapid.The problem is in dosing.Our body needs rapid insulin, continuously and depending on glycemia levels.
What happens?Well, we supply only at certain times and then trust your action profile to tell us that we are properly insulinized.I think that is the big problem of diabetes.
After what has been said, it can only be thought that the ideal would be to have a kind of artificial pancreas. In summary, the problem that I see in diabetes is the dosing of insulin.We are continually created new doubts and problems with the appearance of new insulins.And it costs to adapt to them, due to doses, schedules and injection place.

In that we leave our lives !, Knowing that with so much change we always have the feeling that our guideline is inadequate, and our health, resents day by day.The deterioration, indisputable.

Greetings.
