Bovine (and porcine) insulin are the animal insulins we used to use up until the 80s when we were told (by the marketing weasels) that we would either: A) catch mad cow (or mad pig) disease or: B) there were not enough cows and pigs and we would soon run out of insulin if we didn't start using the new artificially made 'Human' insulins (which were heavily patented) ;)
 
Novorapid. Just got mine from chemist today and they've changed the packaging - it was in a nice neat fitting box now it's in a bigger box and differnent text font on it. Why change - arghhh.

Getting there I think!
Did some basal testing and think I've cracked it. I've set two different ones for days at work and for days off. So far so good!
Thanks for asking :)

That's brilliant! Brace yourself though....it could all have to change again aha mine is changing all the time! And it's okay :) x
 
I was on Humalog then changed to Hypurin Porcine Neutral.

I keep Humalog in an injection pen for emergencies, but my pump has had the porcine insulin for a couple of years now.
