[QUOTE="Heathenlass, post: 637150, member: 84861"] If you are doing fine on it now, chances are you will continue to do so :) Yes, it's " old fashioned " in terms of fashions coming and going in medical land :rolleyes: Often only because the pharmaceutical bods bring out something that is new, all singing and dancing, ( so they claim ) and better for everybody . The big move from porcine and bovine insulin didn't suit a helluva lot of people, and the reasoning behind it being mass prescribed was pretty bogus IMHO .:rolleyes: The newer insulins DID suit a lot of people, but not all, and they still don't . I believe that if it ain't broke, don't fix it :D It was interesting to have that chat early this year, that they don't prescribe Lantus, and do prescribe a lot of the older insulins along with Levemir. Tresiba is rarely prescribed because of a) the cost, and b) people still have problems with it along the lines of Lantus. Levemir was discounted for me as it was considered likely that I would react to it in the same way as I did for Lantus, whereas Insulatard has a good track record with me. Why does Bernstein not recommend it ? Is this because it has been " superseded " by the newer ones with a "flat profile " ? Signy [/QUOTE]
