"i'd never heard of it so i looked it up. i am very insulin sensitive & prone to hypos so i don't think it's for me :) are you insulin resistant? i would think that is what it should be used for?"

"to be honest brian, i'm not too sure on this. obviously in my case it's foreign insulin. however, my endo did say anti-insulin, not insulin antibodies. when i ran it by my pcp he said anti-insulin too. don't know if it's just a…"

Brian (bsc) replied to Baby Peanut's discussion 'for those with control issues: anti-insulin antibodies'
"My understanding is that there are insulin antibodies (to foreign insulin) and there are insulin auto antibodies (to your own insulin). There are different tests for the different kinds of immune reactions."

Baby Peanut replied to Baby Peanut's discussion 'for those with control issues: anti-insulin antibodies'

I'm willing to fight against private insurance (if time is available) but not Medicare. They ARE going to be the last to cover.
