[QUOTE="janabelle, post: 31427, member: 7788"] Hi Paul, I'm sure your in a minority when you say you think it's "guff" that there's not been enough testing on analogue insulins. It's a fact. For many people the side effects can take 18 months to display-show me a study on lantus that lasted that long?? Newly diagnosed people can be too trusing of the medics treating them, and foolishly think that they know best. I had **** treatment from my hospital clinic and consultant despite telling them of the probs I was having with control and the side effects, which at the time I did not know were related to Lantus-I can assure you that I do now! My consultant told me it was fine for my blood sugar to rise to 15mm/l every day-it is obviously not. I think that many patients are being told the same guff, only because the consultants are reluctant to take these patients off the analogue insulins, even though it is clear they are not the best option for the patient. Patients can easily presume the problems and side effects are simply part of being a diabetic on insulin, it's doubtful they'll be told any different. Patient choice is the key to control as I was told when I was diagnosed and initially treated at St Georges Hospital in Tooting. That patient choice does not seem to exist anymore-as soon as a patient is diagnosed type-1, they are put on analogue insulin-know any different?? These new "insulins" reduce hypo awareness, that is a fact, and how can that be good for any diabetic? Animal insulins are tried and tested and safe, they have been used for quite a few years longer than synthetic ones!! Animal insulins are definately not old-fashioned, and in my experience since changing to Hypurin Porcine Isophane after nearly 20 years on synthetic insulin, it gives the flattest profile I have ever experienced. My health is better than it has been since I was diagnosed, and I am now beginning to lose the weight that has troubled me since diagnosis. Don't believe the hype :twisted: Jus [/QUOTE]
