[QUOTE="DiabeticVeteran, post: 167223, member: 24184"] I would like to comment on some things here & I am sorry if it does offend. FIRSTLY,I would like to state that I am not affiliated with any Company or Organisation. Why was it a shame regarding Channel 4 & the BMJ for running the article? I don't understand. The main topic was to do with costs of the Analogue insulins associated with beneficial control with Diabetes!?! For a start, from what i have read, there is NO evidence to state that there is any better control over this group of insulins as opposed to using the older Synthetic insulins and the "Original" Animal insulins. Going from reports & patients concerns dating back at least 10 years!! Where is the hard proof that Analogue Insulins have revolutionised the better control in Diabetics??? Until this question has been significantly answered, there really cant be a significant Bias towards this insulin group!. I can only speak for myself here, I come off Analogues because of the lack of Control it gave me.The sudden, constant hypo's i was facing, the whipsawing of BG readings, which caused me to obtain Hypo Unawareness, me feeling achey, lifeless, gained excessive weight & generally ill and from this, costing the NHS, 3 to 4 times more money to keep me alive over the 8 year period! Now, I am using the old faithful Animal insulins & yes, from this, I feel a normal person... BG control is terrific, no sudden hypos, I have gained my awareness & its the fittest i have been in along time! There needs to be the Variety of Insulins available on the market for this very reason..... Compatability & the Patients Choice. I therefore was not suited to Human Analogues, other people are, I work well on the older, Animal insulins & I would bet money on this that others feel the same way. Many thanks :mrgreen: [/QUOTE]
