Iletin® II (pork) insulin will remain available as will the newer human insulins. Animal insulins account for only 6 to 7 percent of the 3.2 million U.S. insulin users, says Dr. John Holcombe, Lilly's senior clinical research physician. He says that Lilly is planning to discontinue Iletin® I to narrow the company's product range.
"We didn't think it would be proper to put such a specific product announcement on the Web site," he says. "We wanted to go to physicians first, but the information is already out there."
Dr. Holcombe blames Diabetes Interview Publisher Scott King for telling consumers about Lilly's plans. "Our communications strategy has been torpedoed midship," he says. "We asked Scott to keep certain information we gave him in confidence. We felt a little betrayed by that."
