I've always used Humalog. I guess for many people there's no difference, but the two insulins do work differently for some people. I know some people on an insulin pump list I belong to say that Novolog seems to work faster, and is out of their body faster. Some people might find the opposite is true. Since I've used Novolog only one time, when I first got connected to my pump (that's what the nurse gave me to put in) I can't really say how it worked for me. So, there may be no problem if you use it, but then again you might find that your body does react differently to it. -- Liz Are you sure the doctor called in the wrong thing, or did the pharmacy make

Doctor said there was no difference when I expressed concern. HTH, Rhonda we were on humalog and our insurance changed us to novolog, I figure it must be cheaper for them to purchase.
