[QUOTE="jopar, post: 231982, member: 11712"] Chris what is your control like in general and at what point were you swapped from animal to human insulin? And what sort of medication are you taking? If you think back to when you were swapped from animal to human insulin, did you experience any hypo symptoms changes, since being swapped have you at all found that your BG would dramatically drop without any reason one minute you'll high the next you rushing to get your hypo kit.. Classic symptoms for an individual not getting on with human insulin, is major fluctuations for no apparent reason in BG's high one minute then in their boots the next a very very quick drop in BG, aches and pains, feeling foggy headed and/or depressed or generally lethargic and out of sorts all the time. I know that when peoples started to change to human insulin's there was uproar, as some people experienced a change in their hypo symptoms from one to the other so had to relearn them again, my husband was one with animal insulin first sign of an hypo was sweating, but with human insulin sweating doesn't happen until his BG's are dangerously low and I didn't notice any real difference Another thing that is often forgotten is medication such as BP tablets can mask hypo symptoms, so perhaps if you are on these a change to another type might improve thing a bit,,, You can get hypo unawareness on what every insulin you use and one of the est methods of kicking hypo awareness back in is as your consultant says, run your BG higher for a couple of months..
