Needs updating, & not just about the insulin.

Well, it's a little dated when they refer to animal-extracted
insulins, but AFAICT they talk about all the big brand names and even
the new analog insulins out there right now. Pumps etc. are mentioned
too (not as if they're so ridiculously new, they were around 25 years
ago!). What should they update, are there any new insulins/combos they
leave out?

I do notice that Amylin/Symlin/Byetta are not mentioned but those
aren't insulin.

Tim.

Ultralente is no longer available in the U.S., yet for someone that has
not used insulin as yet it is written in laymen's language. Some recent
post by insulin users indicate that they could use this site. DPP-4
inhibitors more than likely aren't mentioned either.
