[QUOTE="janabelle, post: 88904, member: 7788"] Hi Doogyrev, I have not heard of anyone having side effects with animal insulin,only with synthetic. Animal insulin is highly purified and reactions are unheard of these days. The reason people were taken off it was because synthetic 'human nsulins' became availaible and people were pushed on to it by their docs and told it was the best thing since slice bread! Many people had bad reactions to the synthetic insulin. it's the same story these days, unfortunately nowadays very few doctors know or admit the existance of animal insulins, and are reluctant to change patients on to it. I'm going to have to get back to you on why. Animal insulin in my experienced view as someone who's tried all varieties, gives the best BS control and quality of life. It also contains c-peptide which performs many functions, but, as recent press has shown, perhaps there is more to worry about with analogues than just a lack of c-peptide. It does not surprise me ;any mediaction that can make people so chronically ill in such a short time, must be seriously flawed. Animal insulin is produced by Wockhardt, and is available in both long and short-acting bovine (beef) and porcine (pork) varieties. In response to Moggy's comment that we are not text book, we are all different; That is true, and when I was diagnosed there were many different types of insluin available and offered. Why now do doctors only offer 2 similar long-acting analogue insulins for ALL new type-1s???? Good luck with whatever you decide to do. Jus [/QUOTE]
