Fewer insulin shots might help diabetics

Researchers in Germany studied more than 400 patients who suffer from type-2 diabetes. Half received one injection of Glargine, a long-acting form of insulin. The other group received three daily injections of Lispro, a fast-acting insulin. To track how well blood-sugar was controlled, they measured the concentration of hemoglobin A1C in the blood. At the end of the study, they found similar reductions in the hemoglobin.
