www.LoveDiabetes.com – All insulins sold by Novo Nordisk (NYSE NVO) , Eli Lilly (NYSE: LLY) and Sanofi-Aventis (NYSE: SNY) are completely stripped of C-peptide. C-peptide (C part of the A, B and C polypeptide chains of proinsulin) is an important part of insulin that protects people from diabetes complications. How did Big Pharma justify removing it without putting it back? In spite of better blood sugar control – this missing piece of insulin may explain the rise in diabetes complications.

Hey Allie
Just wanted to drop a message to say how facinating your videos are, and how glad I am that you post them for all us diabetics to see. I have only seen a couple of videos so far, but I subscribed instantly. I am a 19-year-old girl from the UK, and we just don’t seem to get such detailed info over here. I’ve been diabetic since I was six, and I was lucky enough to have a ‘honeymoon phase’ where I produced insulin again a couple of years after diagnosis…
SYMLIN=C-peptide…..if that helps. Although it is not a component of insulin, it is available.
If anyone has been wrongfully terminated by Novo Nordisk, please respond on this blog. I heard they fire people that are labelled “unwanted”, imagine that? They need to treat people more like humans.
So big farma are against T1 Diabetics? some things in the body are useless , like C protein once insulin were out Beta Cells. If not big farma will make the insulin mix with C protein.
And I know a lot of things that Newton don`t , relative teoria for exemple.. ;P

this is not correct, intensive blood sugar control can reduce de incidence of complications, ergo some patients didn’t develop complication at all.
Anyway C peptide is discarded once insulin leaves the Beta-Cell and goes into blood stream.
Interesting. But type 1s are the majority of insulin users, even though we’re not the majority of diabetics.
Pharmaceutical insulins are improvements for us T1s not because of the c-peptide but because of the duration of action.
