[QUOTE="Muttley61, post: 849243, member: 12736"] [FONT=Georgia][SIZE=5]jozoe post is similar to me but I was diagnosed in 1958 and I have just past my 60th. birthday! Hooray!! Having struggled for many years with mood swings, poor and very difficult blood glucose control, many changes to my "bolus" etc., and now splitting my levermir I am going to get my "medical diabetic specialists" to put me back on porcine insulin. I've been diabetic T1 for over 57 years and I'm sick of being ignored in the treatment of my condition. I have read over and over again about people being told that , " soon you will not be able to get animal insulins so you'll have to get used to using human ( synthetic yeast based ) insulin". My experience with this rubbish insulin has been over approximately 20 years and it has never really work, well having my licence revoked due to a hypo that caught-me-out, it has broken this camels back! When I think back prior to the insulin change I was reasonably well controlled with no hypos no hypers able to drink alcohol work late, get up early and only did Bg tests when I felt unwell. My fingers are now sore through continual testing in an attempt to satisfy my doctors and the DVLA but my "specialists" may be going to give me a cgms which will help but not solve the problem. The monitoring system should be with me on the 20th May this year and when received it I shall attempt to revert to the porcine insulin I know will work! [/SIZE][/FONT] [/QUOTE]
