I’ve been using Humalog injection for over 30 years.Now they don’t cover Humalog and want me to switch to Novolog.Has anyone had any problems switching insulins.

You asked this twice, I’ll answer this one. Yes I used Humalog for about 25 years before switching to Novolog, which I’ve been using now for about three years. I consider them identical, and see no difference between the two. BTW, I had tested samples of both Novolog and Fiasp years before and saw no difference then either. And as of about the last year I am using “Insulin Aspart”, the generic form, instead of name brand Novolog. Again, it is identical for me.

I like Humalog better,
Novalog seemed a little slower and I had a tendency to drop more at night. Plenty of people prefer Novalog or don’t notice difference.
I think by all measurable stats they’re identical. I prefer novolog, but that’s probably just because it’s what I’m most familiar with, as humalog is for you
Medicare covers both, the problem is the Part D/MA providers who use restricted formularies. I swapped my Part D provider because I’ve come to like Lyumjev (the Huma product, Lilly) rather than Fiasp (the Novo product).
There are still a few days left; four days. Take a look at the options; it costs nothing to look.
EDIT: I got that wrong, Medicare changes closed on December 7 this year. It’s ACA plan open enrollment that closes on December 15 (for January coverage, Jan 15 for coverage starting in February).
