It's pretty much "pig insulin"
That's not why doctors don't prescribe it. It peaks and troughs over 12 hours instead of being essentially flat for 18-26 like most of our basal insulins, increasing the risk (slightly) of hypoglycemia and with a slightly higher patient-to-patient variability.
I am a doctor.
I have patients who take it because they can't afford the other stuff, choose not to afford the other stuff, or have been on it for 20 years and don't want off it because it works.
