[QUOTE="TheBigNewt, post: 1591648, member: 380756"] I'm going from memory here. But I don't think either Levemir nor Lantus are identical to human insulin molecules, as suggested above. These of course are long acting insulins. I think that Humulin, a short acting insulin by Lilly, is identical, made by cleaving a couple of things off of animal insulin. After that Lilly made Humulog, a faster/shorter acting version of Humulog but I'm not sure how they changed to molecule to accomplish that difference. I would think that one could inquire and find out what else in included in any insulin product besides the active insulin ingredient, that one may be "allergic" to. [/QUOTE]
