like Novalog and Humalog...BTW~ I use the pens for Novalog and my Dr wants to change me to the same formula of Humalog (70/30 pens)
Answer:
There is a difference. Their chemical structure is slightly different.Novolog works a little more rapidly and for a little longer than Humalog. In my experience it is also more stable - less chance of getting a "bad" vial or cartridge.
There isn't much difference between brands of insulin. It's just...insulin
It's different drug companies trying to make basically the same product. Of course, they aren't exactly the same. For some Novalog may work better than Humalog and vice versa. Are you having problems with your Novalog? If you aren't I would be insistent with your doctor not to change. he probably likes Lilly's products better; that's why he wants you to change, but if you are doing well, why change things?
