[QUOTE="mike@work, post: 2010161, member: 487115"] Hello there [USER=372717]@EllieM[/USER] ! Nice to see you got interested. Jupp, and here is a link explaining how it's made. Not too technical, so it's a good introduction to the process(es). [URL]http://www.madehow.com/Volume-7/Insulin.html[/URL] Also true,and I'm sorry to say, that I think it was mostly because of Big Pharmas ambition for big profit, that enabled the very fast introduction of the synthetic insulins. More money for patented stuff... Probably also true today, but very few (no one) will be offered the possibility to switch to an old animal sort nowadays. Admit that the old sorts also have problems of different kinds, but they could in some cases be a good substitute for a otherwise non-functioning insulin therapy. A term like "Dead in bed"-syndrome was almost unknown at those times when animal insulins was used, but sadly today it's a to some extent known expression. From the same source you can find some possibly interesting studies. [URL]https://www.iddt.org/about/gm-vs-animal-insulin/dead-in-bed-syndrome[/URL] Possibly I say, because I don't think I have read them yet... One other thing that also was not too common before, was the loss of hunger feelings. That happened only if you had a very bad BSLcontrol. I think the ability to feel you need to eat if BSL is low, is degraded to some extent with newer insulins. There are unfortunately not too many studies done, regarding this possible problem - maybe no one is willing to fund such an investigation :angelic: [URL]https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3899599/[/URL] [/QUOTE]
