“A joint investigation by Channel 4 News and the BMJ reveals the NHS spends tens of millions more than necessary on modern insulins to treat diabetes despite guidance from NICE to use cheaper products.”

Apparently “the benefits of modern insulins do not justify their cost and they recommend that patients should be started on human insulin – an older, cheaper version of synthetic insulin”.

This dog thinks that diabetics using older, human insulins is a stupid idea and the author of this report should be nailed inside a barrel with a couple of angry plague-carrying rats and rolled down a bloody steep hill into a shark infested lake. Woof!
