Sorry this is probably a dumb question but I have been thinking about moving to animal insulin but.... I wondered will the current swine flu situation affect anybody taking pork insulin? Would a virus get into insulin or would it just pass through the blood stream without affecting a pig's beta...

Hi people. Well it's a thought that has been on my mind for some time and I seem to see little evidence on the internet to answer my question. I was diagnosed late (I know I'm not the only one here) but when diagnosed I was 36.7mmol and had ketoacidosis as my body had started eating away at...
