[QUOTE="prancer53, post: 1218576, member: 85578"] Yes I had awful probs with human insulin and eventually asked to be changed to pork insulin--consultant just took the mickey and told me I would be scraped up off the floor every 5 minutes--anyway I didn't desist and eventually received my prescription for pork insulin. I feel so much better, hypo warnings are far more definitive too (consultant asked me what sort of warnings I got but my reply elicited from him that I was getting too low on pork insulin..............). Same consultant also told me that I should keep HBA1C much higher than 4-7 after which I got quite angry and told him that he obviously had no idea how blood sugar above the normal range (+7) makes me feel so awful and that he should try it (this was after many, many other negative things he said and then gave me a test for dementia.....really.....). I have had diabetes for 54 years, have no complications, through my own learning and management of diabetes, and would prefer to keep it that way....!!! [/QUOTE]
