[QUOTE="janabelle, post: 89868, member: 7788"] Hi Rach79 I changed to pork insulin over a year ago, and sorry to hear your not having a great time on it. I wondered whether you are splitting your long-acting? I take 22 units isophane about 8-9am and 12 units isophane between 9-10pm. I have the odd day when when my BGs are a bit lower than usual, just a few days before my period, but it's regular, and I expect it. I can totally relate to the weight thing-it's so demoralising having to eat when you don't want to. I try to minimise the amount of carbs in my evening meal so I take less short-acting in eve and avoid being too low before bed. Cocked it up last night though, as while eating my dinner, a crown came off and ended up in my chewed up chicken! Luckily I managed to rescue it before it went down my throat, otherwise this mornings dentist visit would have cost me a fortune. Subsequently I didn't finish my dinner last night, and found myself hypo and swigging lucozade at 1am. Having tried many types of insulin over 20 years, I know pork's the best I've been on. Don't lose heart yet,it's still early days- maybe you need to adjust your doses of long-acting a bit to get it right. Jus [/QUOTE]
