[QUOTE="janabelle, post: 167204, member: 7788"] HLW, I have no involvement with the IDDT, except that if it wasn't for them I would undoubtedly be in an even worse state , while being told that i was suffering from fibromyalgia IBS and depression. My problem was with Lantus, and not one medical professional recognised it as being Lantus related. Analogue insulin side-effects are not recognised, as I have previously stated, by most doctors, although my diabetes clinic's attitude is changing. You are very lucky to have had things explained to you and your doctor sounds a wise man, but many are not so fortunate. Get real, the only side-effect of insulin treatment any doc will tell you about is Hypoglycaemia! Yes, i made a formal complaint against my diabetes consultant for failing to write the truth in my notes and merely reporting me as "well controlled" as my Hba1c was within the normal range. She failed to report in my notes that my BG levels were unstable and erratic, and the ill health I was suffering complained about at every appointment for 4 years. As for suggesting that no one uses analogue insulins because some don't get on with it,- just count yourself lucky and let the less fortunate have their eyes opened to the possible problems they might encounter. As for comparing it to side-effects of metformin or other drugs; the difference is that there will be alternatives to such drugs. Have you failed to notice that drug companies have been disontinuing many of their insulins? Novo Nordisk plan to disontinue ALL "human insulins" and only produce analogues in the future. Both Novo Nordisk and and Ely Lily have already discontinued their animal insulin ranges. There is NO evidence that analgogues are any more effective than synthetic "human" insulins, as there was never any evidence that synthetic "human" insulins were any more effective than animal insulins.
