Brock G replied to rubidoux's discussion 'Why do people still use Regular?'"NPH was the only choice when I was Dx. The peaks were never the same from bottle to bottle. It would cause major lows during the night and even during the day. One of the reason why a person may still be using regular insulin is because of the…"

"I think the only cure is a transplant. And not everyone is suitable for that procedure. Even then the patient would be on cyclosporine for the rest of their lives. Who knows the risks involved with that drug over time? Whoever finds the cure will be…"
