title: Benefits of lispro insulin: control of postprandial glucose levels is within reach.
abstract: How well would the following fit into your schedule? You must know when you will eat throughout the day, and about an hour beforehand you must inject an appropriate amount of insulin to offset the amount of carbohydrate you intend to consume. For many diabetic patients who use regular insulin, these are the requirements. Dr Bohannon describes a newly approved insulin that goes into action and gets out of the body faster, more closely mimicking the body's natural insulin response to food.
