[QUOTE="janabelle, post: 304386, member: 7788"] HI, Hi, your post struck a chord with me, especially the term "zombie". I urge you to contact the IDDT (insulin dependent diabetes trust), they are well acquainted with synthetic insulin reactions/side-effects. Feeling like a zombie is something that people who react badly to synthetically produced insulin particularly analogue insulins often report, "drugged up" is another commonly reported feeling. I came on this forum during a time in my life when I was in a similar situation to you, after being put on to the wonder-insulin Lantus :(. I was so tired, indescribebly exhausted and in a fog-like state most of the time, as you say it was no life. I was unable to function and look after my children. I had constant pain and felt as if I was dying :( There are other types of insulin available aside from analogue insulins, and as the side-effects of these newer insulin types are becoming more recognised, more people are changing back to the "human" insulins of the 80's and the far superior animal insulin (porcine & bovine) which are now highly purified and far less likely to cause side-effects. I don't know if animal or synthetic human insulins are available where you live but if you contact the IDDT they will be able to advice. Here's a link [url=http://www.iddt.org/here-to-help/contact-us/]http://www.iddt.org/here-to-help/contact-us/[/url] You might be interested in this section of their website too [url=http://www.iddt.org/about/gm-vs-animal-insulin/]http://www.iddt.org/about/gm-vs-animal-insulin/[/url] the very best of luck and I hope things improve for you soon Jus :) [/QUOTE]
