Led by a collaborative team of researchers from the Institute for Quality and Efficiency in Health Care (IQWiG) and a research institute of the German Local Health Care Fund, the study analysed the data of almost 130,000 patients with diabetes in Germany who had been treated with either human insulin or the insulin analogues lispro (trade name: Humalog), aspart (Novorapid) or glargine (Lantus) between January 2001 and June 2005.
A German study of 127,031 diabetics on insulin found malignancies were more common in patients treated with Lantus, also known as glargine, than in those prescribed a comparable dose of old-style human insulin.
The main producer of synthetic human insulin is a Danish firm, Novo Nordisk, so I expect the Islamist block will have something to moan about that too.
