Appreciate the reply!As a diabetic who uses animal insulin i have several questions in regards to animal insulin, and I hope you'd be able to answer them!!!!I have looked at Wockhardt UK's website to have a look at the ingredients list of each type of animal insulin, and since I have a sensitivity to sulphates I'd only be able to use:-Hypurin Bovine Lente insulin-Hypurin Bovine (and Pourcine) Neutral insulin.I've already stated that I would like to use animal insulin as a Basal/Bolus regime. Would the 2 insulins above be fine to use?I know you aren't able to give actual medical advice but as a suggestion, I'd then be able to go through it with my Doctor. <img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite8" alt=":D" title="Big Grin    :D" loading="lazy" data-shortname=":D" /> I am currently injecting 10 units of Lantus at 7am and 7pm...(& varying amounts of Humalog throughout the day, depending on how much carbs I'v had).I wanted to know...since the Bovine Neutral will act slower compared to the Humalog (I usually inject after my meal with Humalog), so would I then inject 15-20 minutes before I have a meal?And, do I carb count while using the Bovine Neutral? Or is there a standard amount (eg 3 units) for every meal, regardless of what is eaten?For example: I decide to have a slice of cake which has a total of 40 g of carbsI'm currently on a 1:1 ratio....so in effect, would I simply inject 4 units of Bovine neutral? And then inject more Bovine Neutral if I decide to have another slice of cake? lol</blockquote>
