"sofar the inslulins I've used for these 15 years have always been synthetic"
If I remember right insulin is derived from animals(like pigs and cows). I'm not sure how they make the dna identical ones. I said 80% of everything is made from plant sources. There's still a big 20% there(that means 1 in 5). Also, insulin is a chemical that is inside the body, so of course it would come from animals. It's like getting estrogen from a pregnant horse's pee(hence premarin).
I have no idea how they make DNA identical ones, it might be entirely synthetic, but generally people use something as a base when they are making medicine(I'm assuming people don't make something out of nothing, not only because of any chemical reasons but also because it would cost a ridiculous amount of money). Also, most of the information they have on the interactions of these medicines within the body comes from old medicine. It's not like I'm saying fuck all the new shit, because the new shit works(itll keep you alive, anyway). The point is the merger of the old with the new, because that is more complete.
Why make a thread about diabetes if you're not looking for advice? If your nurse knows everything, why do you need to ask stupid message board people? What was the point of this thread? So everyone will know you're diabetic? Is this a sob story? You're a dumb cunt, and I don't even know why I'm still responding to you.
DNA Synthesized insulin:
"The technology which made this approach possible was the development of recombinant DNA techniques. In simple terms, the human gene which codes for the insulin protein was cloned (copied) and then put inside of bacteria. A number of tricks were performed on this gene to make the bacteria want to use it to constantly make insulin. Big vats of bacteria now make tons of human insulin."

Funny that it comes from bacteria(some people consider bacteria to be not unlike plants). Who knows how reliable the site i got it off of was, my computer's downloading too much shit to really search through sites, but it seems like a decent enough explanation.
The fact that I know more about diabetes than you do is an insult to the American health system.
Let me ask you a few questions, and if you respond to one thing respond to this and ignore the rest, do you expect the health system you're currently taking part in to cure you of diabetes? How long have you been diabetic and not been cured? Do you expect to be cured, or merely sustained? Sustanance is what western medicine is best at.
I can offer you suggestions that can SUPPOSEDLY stimulate the pancreas and can possibly make it work again. There are reported cases of it happening, but it is rare, and I personally don't know if I believe it. The secret is one that western medicine makes obvious but still manages to hide from people;
the human body is more capable of healing the human body than anything else. Simple fact, look at any form of (successful) medicine and you'll notice it mostly involves sustaining the body long enough to heal itself. Medicine can't regenerate tissue(although it can stimulate the human response to doing so), only the human body can do so in an appropriate way. No doctor knows more about your body than your body knows about itself. That fact is inherent in the system.
By keeping the body as healthy as possible it is possible the human body will regenerate itself, and it usually does. For the most part, if you have a completely healthy body you are immune to disease and illness, because that is how illness' and diseases come about-- from unhealthy bodies. Look at type two diabetics, can't think of one of those guys who are healthy, and yet if they start living healthy they can extend their lives dramatically. Of course, for the most part it's harder to get rid of a disease than it is to get it, I think it's worth making a stretch for because at the very least your life will be extended.
you're so stupid it makes me laugh. Seriously do some research or something and you'll find that herbs actually have chemicals inside of them that are extremely similar to the chemicals used by modern day medicine. I could probably sit here and name shit that modern medicine has derived from plant sources, and I'm sure other people could weigh in a few things as well.
