"I should add, that training session was Dec 6 2010, so maybe things have changed a bit since then, as I pointed out I don't use a pump and am seeing them as more trouble and far too expensive for me when it would require me to buy more than…"

"i was told too that humalog shouldn't be used in pump, specifically omnipod, was also told humalog clogged in all pumps, both by pump reps and old endo. new endo said humalog was first used in pump and made for pumps...so...who knows. but many…"

"Hi Jacky R. I'm glad you're getting good results! I ran out of real estate for wearing a pump (got thinner), but I really do miss it."

"So, a few days has passed. I changed sets on Monday using Novolog, my averaged last couple days has been 130's. Site will be 2 days old at 5pm today, with no pain. Accu-chek did send out IV3000 in case of Adhesive allergies. Doc says stay on…"

"Hi Janina. I've tried all three the fast-acting insulins and Regular on a pump, and while all of them can be used, there are differences. (I'm now on MDI, but started on a MM508, getting updated pumps over the years.) It was maybe ten…"

"Second what Zoe said. Any of the three can be used, and I know people who use all of them. A good friend uses Apidra in her pump and loves it. Whoever told you otherwise has an agenda of their own. If I were to guess, it may be a manufacturer who…"

"I don't yet use a pump, but I went to a training session and found that Humalog could not be used. At the time, I just thought that was strange that only Novolog could be used."

Timothy replied to Jacky R's discussion 'Needing Advice, Dr.'s don't even know!'

"hum, i'm not sure it's the humalog, seems like if true allergy you'd have more like hives. were you using humalog on MDI's without a problem? sounds more like bad infusion sites/sets. maybe you're having an allergy to the…"
