Thank you for enlightening us, I was diagnosed around 2004. At that time, fast acting insulin was the norm. But I knew that some patients used mixed insulin.

I still know T1Ds who continue to use mixed insulin, because it works for them.

Lantus was approved in 2000. Diagnosed in early 2001, I spent maybe six months on NPH before they got me switched over. There’s also regular which is a mix of nph and fast acting, I still hear of people using that now as it works okay and is very cheap.
