[QUOTE="janabelle, post: 94988, member: 7788"] HI Carol, following my experience on synthetic insulin particularly Lantus, whenever I read at posting like yours I get the same instiinct; which is to say if you have any concern or suspicion that your synthetic insulin is causing you bother, then the only option is to try something else. The only problem with that is you will undoubtably be offered another anlaogue synthetic insulin. It is very rare for doctors to offer animal insulin even when a patient suggests it, and it's an outrage. However there is no justification, even financial,for a doctor to refuse it. You should contact the IDDT for further advice, number is on their website. More and more people are reporting probs with analogues,I wonder how many end up presumed insulin resistant, because their insulin isn't working, and end up on Metformin or something similar. Trust your instricts Carol, I wish I'd had even an inkling 4 years ago. Unfortunately I was brainwashed into thinking analogues were the beez kneez, but you live and you learn. Jus [/QUOTE]
