Reviews and Reports *
The Cochrane Review comparing 'human' and animal insulins, published July 2002 provides the high quality evidence to provide informed choice. The Bellagio Report was prepared by an international group of patients and physicians.
Diabetes Commonsense
The late Beatrice Reid describes her little book as:
"This little book is intended for ordinary people: diabetic specialists would be well-advised to steer clear of it. My commonsense approach might disturb the medical fraternity, for it will challenge the assumptions of recent practice and expose the folly that can result from behaving towards diabetics as if they were scientific experiments instead of human beings."
IDDT supports children and young people in India
Can you help by giving unwanted in-date insulin or by giving £2.00 a month to sponsor a child with diabetes?
