[QUOTE="janabelle, post: 118790, member: 7788"] Hi Megan, How frustrating, can you see another GP? Whatever you do don't give up. Your GP is aware of your BG probs, and he'd be neglectful not to let you try an alternative insulin. Maybe if you suggest to him it's a trial change to see how you get on for a few months, he might not be so against the idea. Ultimately the choice of what insulin you take should be yours, make him listen. I was infuriated hearing a DSN speak at our local Diabetes Group Meeting recently, calling animal insulin "old fashioned"- funnily enough Megan ,she said the opposite of what your GP said regarding profile of long-acting animal insulin; she said it "hangs around too long in the body",implying it was TOO long-acting- what a load of tosh! Keep at 'em Megan-don't be fobbed off if it's what you really want. Steve, how are you getting on, are you noticing any other changes apart from sugar control? Jus [/QUOTE]
