Looked up Wockhardt's website and the only long acting insulin to replace Levemir, without protamine or isophane ,is bovine lente in vials.
When protamine/isophane mixture as in Humulin I, peaks it makes my bs plummet uncontrolably and very difficult to get it stable for some worrying time.
To get used to changing from Levemir to Bovine Lente, to cover meals etc would continue using Humalog.
How are you doing?
Have you got any further?
Not getting enough sleep sounds bad.
We are still asking for Bovine Lente, with bovine neutral.
We saw the GP again today and are hopeful.
We have researched lots online.
More and more convinced.
Bovine Lente sounds very steady.
Have you rung IDDT to ask for advice?
Can you get a referral from your GP to another consultant / community clinic?
Hope that you are okay,

Hi
Still feeling tired as sleep just wont come until early hours of the morning. How are you getting on with the GP. Yeah the more you read into things, the more sense it makes.
Read your post today on your sons thoughts and ideas on why he wants to change, brilliant. Great timing for GP appointment on Thursday.

I have broken down our reasons for Bovine Insulin on another reply to you on the Bovine Insulin thread.
We hope that your appointment goes well.
I have enjoyed condensing all this down for you.
We really rather swamped our GP with information.
So getting it down to the 3 page PDF was helpful.
Being new to the forum I didn't know how to do the reply in any other way.
