- Type 1
Hello all, veteran - well 35yrs + t1d. I just joined the forum now as I wanted to see if others had experienced the same issue. I'm always looking for knowledge on diabetes as I'm a nutritional scientist, sports coach and interested in improving health & well being. Forgive me if this post is in wrong area - my first one
Seriously worried - not just the swathe towards obesity and poor actually there seems to be....
no way to test insulin quality.
!
Has anyone felt that the insulin in the last few years has been less effective. The usual response is insulin sensitivity, storage, injection site.... I have covered those and more plus I have tested with glucose rises from varying GI carbs and glyconeogenesis from protein. (fasted) - glycogen and adrenalin released
After the usual checks, site changes, cannula check (I'm pumping ... What if it's the insulin, what if worse still its a new batch. How can I check, I can't!
Nothing online, being a natural cynic I question how can a drug not have quality control checks that are easily checked and truly independent.
I have asked a few diabetics I know and they say I just give more. What if this is lower quality Insulin.
BTW iv asked NICE for their view and if they routinely and individually check insulin for quality.
Views please.
