Yes you can substitute Humalog with Humilin R if you need to. It takes longer to start working, so you might want to take it 15-30 minutes before your meal. Also, it can be taken along with Lantis. The only difference between Humalog and Humilin is that Humalog starts working immediately, where as Humilin takes longer to start working.
