I am type I and been on both animal and man made insulins. I noticed I can't feel my sugars as good as I use to on the animal insulins. I complained to doc's (late 80's) who said a 60 is a 60 (for instance) no matter how you get there, and refused to blame it on man made insulins. I do wonder. Having said that, I think lantus and levemir give us a better chance at avoiding night time lows over N insulin as they don't peak the same. Lantus and Levemir are safer for sleep. We can take our short term insulins during the day and test. We can't test in our sleep. Sun |
