[QUOTE="wsmum, post: 220164, member: 33079"] Blimey - they'd be better off issuing tesco vouchers for the gluten free bread ... My bate with this research is that the economics of it are much more complex than implied. Leaving aside the issue of whether 'only modest improvements' (quoting the research) are worth all that extra money, and even leaving aside the cost of long term complications, the freedom and flexibility offered by newer insulins must help people to contribute more effectively to society ... I was chatting to a nurse friend of mine about this yesterday, and she said maybe doctors should be trying the cheaper insulins first before moving on to the analogues. But then thinking of my son, who is enjoying his new life at music school, practising an hour before breakfast, fitting in meals with rehearsals, eating whatever is on the menu (which he has no say over) I can't imagine that it would work. I think most people have lives that need a flexible approach, and an insulin regime that helps them to do their jobs well, achieve their full potential and (dare I say it) enjoy themselves is surely worth the extra investment?
