For Type 2 Diabetes "Lantus and Humulin injections proved to work for me over the years--U-500 @ 205 units total per day seems to be working. GREAT PRODUCT!!--should add Vietnam vet-agent orange exposure cause of diabetes 11"

For Type 2 Diabetes "WOW! I could not get Lantus and Humalog to lower my sugar. My Dr switched me to Humulin R U-500 and I am so happy. I am seeing much lower numbers now! I actually got to 116 the other morning. Amazing! I'm regularly seeing 140-180, post-meal sugar is still high, but lower than they were by 100 points or more and I'm starting to see a steadier line on my CGM. I am also still in the first month of treatment and am just being increased for the first time. I hope I get even better coverage. I am very happy with this insulin! I have not had any side effects. I was started on 80 units twice a day but I could titrate up to 90 each meal if I felt I needed to, I did. And I could take 20 at night for a snack. I was just increased to 80 before 3 meals each day, so I'm cutting my 2 larger meals into 3 small meals. My sugars used to stay up well into my next meal and well into the morning, they would just start to go down in time for my next meal. I'm happy this one is so much different now!"

For Type 2 Diabetes "Blood sugar had leveled out at 180 taking two other insulins combined 5 times daily. Switched me to concentrated KwikPen. Sugars are swinging between 177 and 390 throughout a 24-hour period. Taking an average of 20 more units than sliding scale recommends and still not helping."
