I just read that President George H.W.Bush and Dan Quayle with ties to Eli Lilly encouraged the fast track of the rDNA synthetic insulin through the FDA & then the Bush administration tried to limit the public's ability to sue drug companies. The profits from rDNA synthetic insulin affords the powerful to purchase new cars for their children, while we the parents of diabetic children are left to purchase coffins or worse for our children, because of the defective insulin that we are forced to buy in America. Eli Lilly gives money to the American Diabetes Association, so the American Diabetes Association's judgement is questionable to me.

C-Peptides MESSAGE:

I have been doing alot of digging in to the fact that my body needs c-peptides as I have been a type 1 diebetic for 32 years since the age of 30. I took pork and beef type insulin until it was no longer available. I was into martial arts for 18 years while taking the pork/beef insulin with no complication at all. When I had to switch over to Humulin type insulin I noticed first of all I had to almost double the insulin to keep my sugars in line. I started to notice in about 6 months that I started to lose muscle mass in my feed and hands, this should not have been as I was working out kicking bags and using my hands in all types of training, I also noticed I started to get thining hair loss along with lack of the energy (that I had on pork/beef insulin). Other slight complecation started over the years fighting to keep blood pressure down, numb and pain in feet, circulation and the like, I make sure I keep on a strict diet and herb/suplament regament for the associated complecations. Now after all the years I now find out for myself that the pure humulin insulin I am taking is creating the problems that I started to experience when I could not get pork/beef insulin (lack of c-peptides, taken out of Humulin Insulin) THIS IS CRIMINAL. My diebetic doctors knowing all along that the new insulin (humulin) was lacking the necessary c-peptides to maintain heathly cells and fight off complecations and that this human DNA type insulin is a slow killer for all type 1 diebetics. I have just recently ordered the pork insulin from the recommended Canadian Pharm. 

I need to know if there is any companies or any place a type 1 diebetic can get c-peptide to suplament the lack in our body (oral or injections and how much to take) I only found it available for research.

There should be some way Type 1 diebetic's could get a Class action suit going or even a Senate investigation started, any suggestions could help.

I also recently checked to see if I could get Pork/beef insulin here in the USA for live stock and just recently the FDA have band it in the USA for the use for live stock and sale in farm stores, now they only can sell Humulin Insulin for giving to live stock, They now are using human insulin on our anamials and pets.  WHAT NEXT  GOVERNMENT HEALTH CARE  Ha!

Thank you,

Just came across this article bit old but the problems of human insulin aint..I,m British,welsh exactly and was diagnosed with type 1 diabetes in1981 I was 15,had my 16th birthday in hosp surrounded by older men with long term complications of diabetes....a real eye opener to say the least.

                                                               I was put on pork insulin insulatard 2 jabs a day  and did ok,in about 1987 they changed me to Human insulin,still 2 jabs a   day but thats when the problems began,bigtime.At first didn,t notice much difference,but over a 4year period my hypos became uncontrolable,unpredictable and vary scary for me and people around me. I was found unconscious in a phone box,trying to get help at the time ,I collapsed at a friends house came round in hosp took me 3 days to remember who and where I was.There was numerous other incidents and tell you the truth I was frightened for my health and sanity.                                       The hospital said I was not eating properly ,this was not the case,anyway eventually I came across an article in Balance a BDA mag for diabetics,stating about the probs some people have with Human insulin.It saved my life.I demanded to go back on Pork insulin,but no one from the medical profession advised me I had to find out for myself and save myself.So there you have it my 4 year nightmare on Human insulin  and the total lack of any medical person to state it was the insulin at fault not me.....and 25years later i,m still doing ok thanks to pork insulin.   Thankfully Pork insulin is still available in UK on prescription.

MY,MY,MY...such fiddle faddle from those who should know better.

First of all in the 1920's  ... beef and pork insulin saved skinny babies, children and adults who where doomed to die... surviving on starvation diets of 300 calories or less a day, in order to live a few months longer.  The starvation diet was created by a doctor doing the best he could at the time to prolong their lives, but that beef and pork insulin saved their lives. Sure, the insulin had garbage floating around in the insulin and its was'nt so pure at first.  As time went on more floating stuff was removed. 

Things were changing in a market of animal insulins and there were more insulin corporations that wanted to do a "switch."  A "switch" to synthetic insulin. After discovering that insulin could be made syntheticly and it worked like animal insulin those corporation decided to convinse type 1's that it was more important for them to do the "switch" and do it quickly.  Why?  MONEY! because it's cheaper to make and we don't have to deal with dead animals, anymore.  Oh, bye the way, we still eat beef and ham and such. The "switch" was to promote and convince the type-1 diabetics in America that there were way, way, more insulin-dependent diabetics in the USA than there actually were.  Sure, there were more type 1's, but not that many more to cause any problems in insulin supply. Type 1's rose slightly over time. The public had to be convensed that there was a problem on the horizon. As part of the "switch"  the corporations that producted animal insulin had to convence the public and those poor type 1's that there was going to be a shortage if something wasn't done and done soon.  Yes, can you believe that... a SHORTAGE......SHORTAGE!!!!!!  INSULIN SHORTAGE!!!!!!!!..and so, the SHORTAGE rumor put out by those insulin corporations hit the news programs that aired at that time.  There was no shortage.  The insulin corps discovered synthetic insulin and it was cheaper to make.....they would save the day. 

 And so that's what happened my dears. 

 They made the "switch"...at the expense of those poor slowly increasing type 1's.  Yeah, Yeah, can you see.  There are more type 2's, and because of that those insulin corps made the new synthetic insulins for type 2's who eventually will need insulin.  When type-2's stop making insulin and need insulin injected to control blood glucose.  A special synthetic without the little floating things in the bottle that was in animal insulin.  The problem that the insulin corps don't see as a problem and type 2's don't either.   "C-CONNECTING PEPTIDES".   Remember the "junk" the doctor talked about. Yeah that "junk", Type-2's still make it and don't need it, but those poor lowly type-1's don't make it, AND THEY NEED IT, BADLY, THEY NEED IT.  "C-CONNECTING PEPTIDES" stop neuropathy  complications and other types of complications in type-1's.  Research in the past decade proves it to be true.  When "C-CONNECTING PEPTIDE" is given to type-1's with serious neuropathy pain, the neuropathy goes away. So,do the insulin corps care that type-1's don't get the "C-CONNECTING PEPTIDES" that we saw floating in the animal insulin bottles.    no........  and so those type-1's will continue to get complications they didn't get on animal insulins, but no one really cares except those type-1's and their families that have great difficulties with complications.........especially not synthetic insulin corps.
