My daughter is 5, diagnosed 9 months. She is on Novorapid and Levemir for long acting.
She is due to go onto the Omnipod 5 pump next week. I have recieved an email from the diabetes team informing me to collect her insulin for the pump, and that it is called Trurapi. I have never heard of this insulin, and I don’t want to change.
A quick google tells me it’s basically the same as Novorapid, but cheaper for the NHS. How can it be the same but cheaper? It can’t be the same.
Trurapi has only been around for 3 years and makes me uneasy! Novorapid has been around a lot longer - 1999.
Just looking for people who have done the swap from Novorapid to Trurapi and can tell me how your experience was?
Thanks
