Using diabetic insulin is a serious health matter, but does brand or generic make a difference? As medicines are closely monitored and carefully tested, a generic form of diabetic insulin is just as effective in controlling blood sugars as a brand name. As most varieties require a prescription, ask your doctor if a suitable generic is available. The most recently approved new types of diabetic insulin may only be offered as brand name medications.
