[QUOTE="EllieM, post: 2010008, member: 372717"] That is one scary article. Maybe I've misunderstood but 1) Animal insulin -> human insulin -> (now) analogue insulin 2) There weren't any long term studies to justify the (quick) changes. it was just assumed that "human" was better. Analogue was introduced to alter the time profiles. 3) New insulins are being produced and old ones retired at a rate which guarantees they stay in patent.... 4) A low but significant number of people have more hypos on human/analogue insulin. Then there's a discussion of possible increased cancer rates - it doesn't sound that there is strong evidence for this but it's not clear that long term studies have been done. Mind you, the article is ten years old, so the cancer situation should be clearer now. [/QUOTE]
