Respected Sir,
I am a dependent of a Defence Personnel and an INSULIN DEPENDENT DIABETES MELLITUS (IDDM) patient from past 11 years.
I have been getting proper medicine always. But from some couple of months in 2014, there is extreme shortage and unavailability of drugs like Insulin, which is a LIFE SAVING drug. Insulin is a very essential drug without which life would be hampered.
Right now I am using HUMALOG PEN. I don't know whether, it is shortage or some kind of adjustment, that every time I am given lesser insulin injections than what the Endocrinologist has prescribed me. To make it to the prescribed doze, I have to buy it from the market from quite a time. Well the thing doesn't end here, the shortage keep on increasing and so as our problems. And now, the assistants at the medical store say that HUMALOG PEN unavailable. To add in it, my doctor also switched me to the PRIMITIVE INSULIN INJECTIONS (mixtard) which is not extensively used now, and also not that efficient. The problem is that I used to use this primitive injection (mixtard) 8 years ago and was switched over to HUMALOG PEN under strict medical supervision, and since then I am using HUMALOG only and my body has too adapted it. Now again changing the injection is not Healthy.
When the world is progressing towards the newer developments, then why ARMY MEDICAL SERVICES is going back to the primitive medications. This was to bring this ongoing problem to your notice. Kindly look into the matter, whatever be the issue is, as u know better what could be done to get out of this drug crisis as soon as possible. It would be of great help for me and for other patients too.
