What is the name of novolog insulin in German Pharmacies

Novo Nordisk is actually 2 words. Novolog is the brand name for aspart. Aspart is a truly 'rapid' acting insulin. It is no longer appropriate for physicians to prescribe so-called 'regular' insulin. In addition to rapid acting insulin there is 'basal' insulin. This is present at a fairly constant level. It is no longer appropriate for physicians to prescribe NPH insulin. Novo Nordisk's basal insulin is detemir or brand name Levemir. The generic names of drugs - even if there is not generic available in a country - are nearly always the same in all countries. This is because medical studies are published worldwide and they need names which are consistent. I always write prescriptions in generic names. This makes it more difficult for a pharmacist to make a mistake and the patient learns the name of the drug they will eventually take - as all drugs eventually become generic. Novolog is known as aspart not only in Germany but all around the globe.

Forget anything you have ever been told about Diabetes.
And get this - it has nothing to do with insulin, exercise, diet or anything else you've heard in the past. It's all based on latest breakthrough research that Big Pharma is going Stir Crazy to hide from you.
