Please can anyone help me with something I am very worried about?
I have a close friend who is a type one diabetic and uses animal insulin for her treatment - lately I have begun to worry over the safety of this insulin. Is animal insulin perfectly safe to use in that it has been thoroughly tested beforehand? Is there any possibility of diseases being passed from animals to the diabetic through the insulin? I suffer from health anxiety and once I get something like this in my head I find it very hard to stop worrying about it.
If anyone could please help me I would be very grateful, thankyou.
