[QUOTE="Rach79, post: 44190, member: 12270"] That's great that you're back on the insulin that suits you best Insulinman. I guess sometimes you gotta shout to be heard though which can be very frustrating. I know us diabetics have it a lot easier these days in some respects but in others, such as the choice of insulin, it is hard and probably a lot harder than the past when the pharmaceutical companies weren't all out so much to make as much money as possible :!: I would just like us all to have the choice, I mean I've found some diabetics can't handle animal insulins and others can't handle human insulin but we shouldn't be forced into a corner to have that decision made for us and made to take it. Both choices should be readily available and I wouldn't like to think that due to lack of demand or information animal insulin would just disappear. One day I might try it if my diabetes doesn't improve AND if it is available to me. I have requested it but yet nothing has been said so I'll see AND NO I won't give in... I'm not that easy to get rid of probably due to my past where the doctor never diagnosed me for many months and I ended up in nearly a coma but having blackouts and people making fun of my weight many years before. However as if diagnosis isn't difficult enough sometimes, we don't need the hassle of having to shout out loud to get what we want. It should just be readily available with honest information about each type of insulin and not lies and what is best for 'their budget'!! [/QUOTE]
