Doctor's Answer

Dear Joy,
This sounds very difficult. I'm sorry you have to go through this. I'm no expert, just the mother of a diabetic, so I can't offer you much in the way of medical advice. Have you read up on the medical websites about the options? You can start by treating it with mild corticosteroids (like Cortaid). If the allergy is truly to all insulins, and it gets worse, some doctors will put their patients through a desensitization process, which I gather is similar to the allergy shots I used to get for my bad hay fever-- except it's riskier, so it needs to be undertaken by a doctor who knows about it.
I would ask your doctor for advice on this matter. Good luck.
