[QUOTE="janabelle, post: 13764, member: 7788"] Sarah, you are right about Wockhardt-they are the only pharmaceutical company now producing animal insulins in this country.. What worries me is that as demand becomes less, it will threaten supplies to patients like us. I am also really concerned that Glargine is mentioned by name as a first line treatment in the NICE document that GPs will use a guide to treat new type-1s. This cannot be right when there are other options. I know the full guideline mentions other insulins, but it is biased towards glargine being the best option. It may be years, as it was with me, before patients experience problems or realise that they have problems due to taking these new analogue insulins., By that time it may not be an option to change to "human" or animal insulins, as pharmeceutical companies will stop producing other insulins due to lack of demand. Then we really will have no choice! Jus [/QUOTE]
