[QUOTE="ann34+, post: 850154, member: 94348"] If Levemir does ever stop being ok, porcine can be adapted to if necessary - it is true that unfortunately the only porcine insulin available does have, at least for some people, myself included, a very much slower onset, and also less of a peak, than the old Pork insulins, especially the old Pork Velosulin - but this can be mostly overcome with the pump - you just set the base rate - the standard base rates and any needed temporary base rates - in the understanding of this, and have any bolus early also.. This has a lot of disadvantages, especially as regards any correction doses, but it has worked out the best option there is for me. .Ann [/QUOTE]
