Hi,
You won't regret changing
, I changed a year ago, and felt like a different person the day I stopped taking Lantus-I think that was the cause of my illness. Been on synthetic insulins for 15 years before being switched to it. Didnt realise at the time, but my health plummited within months of starting it. I was at my worst about a 1 1/2 years on it, thought I was dying, and the tiredness was indescribable-didnt feel normal. As for control, I had always been brittle, and was told it would always be that way, on Lantus I had no control one day to the next-thought I must be seriously ill.
PLEASE can I sign your petition! I'm so impressed, I've been thinking of taking some action about this myself, but really don't know where to start. Was thinking of a "Campaign for Real Insulin" website! Became a comittee member of local Diabetes UK group, and am putting something on the website, and converting wherever and whenever I can. There are so many other people in same situation as us, and I've had a few people private message me on this forum.
Good for you Rachel, please let us know how u get on, and let us know about the petition. Thanks.
