[QUOTE="tim2000s, post: 1388285, member: 30007"] Hi Martie, the analogue Insulins that you have been provided (and that the majority of people are given) with are grown using bacteria and yeast in a manufacturing plant and not extracted from animals. I'd consider them suitable for vegetarians. If I'm honest, and not trying to be funny, you need to carefully consider what you mean by "suitable for vegetarians" as while you state you are a really strict vegetarian, if you were to determine that the way insulin is made didn't fall into your views, and you stopped taking it, there is no alternative, so the consequences would ultimately be death.
