Specializes in Nephrology and Dialysis

That is regular insulin or R. insulin. Synthetic insulin has been used mostly for avoiding insulin antibody which can happen when we use pork or beef insulin.

The one made by your own body is best. Other wise you want a short acting one. Depending which one you insurance covers.
