Germany: save our Insulin-analogue (fast acting)
In germany we have a big problem, insulin analogue should not be paid by health insurance.
Accourding to a opinion of a institut: analogue insulin has no additional benefit as human insulin, therefore they shall not be paid.
To bring this up, we have written a open letter to the secretary of Health.
It is possible to sign the letter, to give more value.
It is a german site but you can use google translate:
Google Translate: http://brief.diabetes-zentrale.de
or
german: http://brief.diabetes-zentrale.de
The sign-function is open until 20-may-2010.
Please help us and sign the letter!
Thank you in advance!

There is also a petition at the Bundestag (Lower House of German Parliament). But only citizens of Germany are allowed to sign it.

What did they say that insulin analogue has no additional benefit as human insulin?

That is the whole argument. Analogues are more expensive and have no additional benefit could justify this.
A Insitut (IQWiG) has human and analogue Insulin compared: the conclusion was they have not enough data -> a additional benifit can't be proved.
The report has more than 200 pages (typical german :D ) but the conclusion is important for the health insurance. But the problem is this institut was founded by those, to reduce the cost. -
