And the idea of this is that it is time/need release, so you don't have to inject it as frequently and you don't have to keep testing?

Assuming you cannot afford it, can you just get 'normal' insulin instead?

Sorry to pepper you with Questions :)

this is a really interesting article that explains how diabetics use insulin, and different types of insulin.

The tl;dr: is that there are longer+shorter acting insulins, and you want to mix and match them to roughly match your blood glucose levels (so taking short acting insulin shortly before meals when your blood glucose levels spike)
