Hi Dave since I was put on synthetic insulins my low or high awareness disappeared completely.When I was using the "old" beef style Lente I could notice the differences but not anymore.For me when I do go way low the only warning I get is if someone with me notices.I also at times wonder if some,not all,of my other complications can be linked to synthetic insulins because they did not start until after I was put on synthetic insulins,about two or three years afterwards.When I was going to my Endo's office and talkng to other type1s,I got the impression that the number of complications were growing dramatically as people were being put onto synthetics.The number of lows and calls to 911(trips to the ER) have gone up by huge amounts.....just ask the ambalance people.But of coarse insulin manufactors just deny this idea and say it is rare or plain and simple it does not happen and that their insulins are far better and safer than the "old" styles.Sorry I got off topic,no I do not use Lantus as it is not aviable up here but this question does apply to all syntheic insulins. |
