Hi!
We live in the Midlands.
During the last six months our 17 year old son has found problems such as:
When out walking in the Peak District last week he felt that his blood sugars were high.
On testing he found that they were under 2mmol/l.
He has had diabetes for 5 years and uses Lantus - glargine and NovoRapid.
He wants to change to bovine insulin.
However ...
Our Consultant cannot prescribe short and intermediate bovine insulins for him due to the fact that she has not had any experience with animal insulin during her medical career.
She has suggested that we find a consultant who has experience with animal insulin.
Obviously we would need to give the name of a consultant who has had experience with caring for patients using animal insulin to our GP to ask for a referral.
Does anyone have any knowledge that would help us to locate such a consultant?
Thanks so much.
