Types of insulin include:
quick-acting insulins, such as Humalog, Novalog, or Regular
and
longer-lasting ones such as NPH and Lantus
Which is appropriate for you should be determined by your doctor or endocrinologist. Hope this helps!

Many quick acting insulins. Novarapid, Actrapid etc.
These are given before meals. They work on the food you eat in that meal for a few hours
Lantus and any other long - acting insulins are given once only in a day. They act slowly, at a low rate, they help the fast insulins work better and they act for hours. Try going a day with no slow acting insulin and you will feel much worse.

Lantus, Humalog, Novalog are all injection insulins. I also use an inhalable insulin that was just approved by the FDA which takes the place for the fast acting Humalog and Novalog.
Good luck.
