How is it that a person can be allergic to insulin when your body prod

Yes, it is me. I have had diabetes for over 20 years and have tried, I believe, just about all insulin. They either make me itch or worse. This last one I just tried, (Toujeo) most likely triggered Respiratory Acidosis. I am also allergic to Estrogens in which the body produces. My diabetes has never been controlled, even after losing 125 pounds.

There is at least one preservative-free insulin - Myxredlin.
Also, for several months I had to take an antibiotic that made me itch and blistered my skin. There was no viable alternative for the infection I had, so I took a dose of Benadryl (antihistamine) with each pill.
If neither of those is an option for you, perhaps you need to seek treatment at a clinic or hospital known for handling difficult cases of diabetes?
