Switching DH's insulin

After our second visit to Joslin and about a 2 months of dealing with diabetes DH has decided the Humulin 70/30 just isn't working.  He meets with his dr. tomorrow morning to try and figure out what would be a better kind of insulin for his lifestyle.  He starts working 12 hr days in March and hopes to make the change before that and get used to the new rules regarding his new insulin.  We also hope to get back to the Joslin center a few times before that so they can educate us/him more.  So...hopefully(weather permitting, we've had snow/sleet/rain since last night and it's all supposed to refreeze tonight)he can get this all figured out in the morning.
