For Type 2 Diabetes "Type 2 for 20 years, Levemir used for 15 of the past years with increasing dosing and could not get 'even' spread with Levemir's 24 hr protocol; Dr. changed me to Humulin N, a 12 hr protocol with better effects throughout a 24 hr period. Negative; caused me to gain 8 pounds within 2 weeks. I am a very active and trim 64 yr old, and I don't like this effect."

For Diabetes, Type 1 "I have used Humulin NPH since I was a kid back in 1985. I have tried other medications, but none have worked for my body. Only Humulin NPH works. It works all day long and I only need to take one shot a day. I rate Humulin NPH a 10 out of 10."

For Diabetes, Type 1 "I have been using Lily NPH insulin since 1984 and have found it very effective, with minor adjustments, over the years. When I was taking Novo Nordisk's version of NPH, my unit requirement nearly doubled, and I never found it as effective as Eli Lilly."

For Type 2 Diabetes "I found that using Humulin N maintains my Hemoglobin blood sugar (HBS) at about 8. When I shifted to Lantus, my HBG increased to 12."
