Prior to starting the “human” insulin, I had used “animal” insulin since diagnosis, and my endocrinologist believes that my “irregular” blood glucoses may be related to “insulin antibodies”.

I have had type 1 diabetes for 28 years, have been taking Lantus alone (no other insulin) for about five weeks, and I’ve been doing well. However, yesterday I had a problem with lows. What happened?
