Message: <blockquote data-quote="~Anna~" data-source="post: 301543" data-attributes="member: 47133">Hi Kate, appreciate the reply.As Ive stated in my initial post, I've been considering switching from analogue insulin to animal insulin and I've been weighing up the pros & cons of both insulin types:-Reading several threads/posts on this website from users now on animal insulin, it seems to be the better of the two, in terms of overall well being.-Blood glucose results seem to be more stable, while using animal insulin as oppose to analogue types.-However, since analogue insulins are very popular or shall I say, are often prescribed to (newly diagnosed) Diabetics, this particular insulin seems to be available almost everywhere. The same can't be said for animal insulin, unfortunately.And so...I'm just thinking if I was going to visit, say Cornwall or Edinburgh or Cardiff, and my supply of animal insulin got ruined would I have to wait several days for the pharmacy to order an emergency supply of animal insulin :crazy:  (I take well care of myself & my medication BUT some things unfortunately do go wrong)Although, Ive pointed out 3 factors...I need to thoroughly look at both insulin types and consider the better option.</blockquote>
