Many thanks for the help, I am not the only one who has been treated with Human Insulin when I should have been left on animal insulin

I was originally diagnosed with diabetes in 1961 and treated with animal insulin until 1994 when a new consultant said I was being wrongly treated. She changed me to human insulin without telling me it was human insulin. I want to go back on animal insulin but I am being ignored

I am too well to get it on prescription so if I self fund , my consultant will not see the results. We should do away with postcode prescribing. I am the wrong age to move to an area that prescribes it on the NHS . I have had type 1 for 56 years but no reason for the disease has been...

Why say it is available when it clearly is not.The only way to get it in my Clinical Commissioning group area is if you are admitted to hospital Do I have to let myself get into that state plus the consequences. We need to get rid of postcode prescribing in the health service

I have tried to get it on the NHS but have been refused so am going to make a complaint to my local clinical commissioning group and my local hospital .When this is refused I will take it to the parliamentary ombudsmen with the help of one of the local organisations that help in these situations

I remember them and using a match box ro make the needles last longer in those days we did not have free prescriptions. We followed a line diet when first diagnosed. Insulin came in different strengths 20, 40,,80,units so you could not dial up the dose.
