Hello everyone:

Thanks very much for the information. I will try to contact him Tuesday,

May 23rd and will let Harry know the name of the insulins that he takes. I

am not sure if he can access the Internet and I will recommend that he join

this list if he needs more information.

Thanks again

Bob

Harry, bob is a modest man, and a counselor to many blind persons. we all

relied on him big time. and to top it off he is approachable with a ply of

wisdom and a good sense of humor. this makes him very valuable to his

clients who would be lost big time without him, my hat is off to bob and a

job well done.

Yes, Bob, the kinds of insulin most people are allergic to are the older

kinds that were made from bovine and pork liver and not the new ones that

are made from cloned material

Thanks for helping your friend.

Re: new member with a question

Dear Bob Marchand,

Many non-diabetics join this list serve as a means of gathering information

and helping those who are diabetics they know.

They also share information that is requested. I would sincerely like to

know the specific names of the insulins used by this person, a diabetic, who

has these severe allergic reactions, and cannot use synthetic insulins. I

would also like to know the specific names of the insulins, which are not

synthetic, they use. I also gather research information for future

reference, and this would be helpful research information.
