    Hi @-Artemis-
    How is the porcine insulin going?
    Our son hopes to change to Bovine in mid January.
    Hoping all is well with you,
    Thanks a lot

    Oh -- I'm so sorry I only just saw this! I didn't know you could get messages here.... ! It's probably too late to reply, but I love porcine -- much gentler / longer acting which suits me.... but know it doesn't suit everyone. Hopefully you're all settled now :)

It's probably too late to reply, but that's really interesting -- I thought they were very similar but seems not! I've loved porcine -- much gentler / longer acting which suits me.... but I'm about to (possibly temporarily) switch to novorapid again for a pump start up on Tuesday! Fingers crossed....

    Just found your message.
    Thank you!
    Have you read this, from the Journal of Diabetes Nursing Vol 15 No 1 2011,
    Experiences of people with diabetes using animal insulin in a pump: A survey
    Jane Essex, Phil Coates:

    We found it very encouraging to keep going in the quest for Bovine insulin.

    How are things with you?
    Thanks again,
