Re: LANTUS PROBLEMS
Hi Andy,
I, too, am glad you found this forum and that you're not going out of your mind
That "internal shaking" feeling you are experiencing sounds familiar :cry: . I felt like I was going to have a fit, not that I've ever had a fit, but what I imagine it would feel like.
Please report your side-effects through the MHRA Yellow Card Scheme, you can do it on their website-I know I've said all this before but worth repeating. Here's the Website link

Are you planning a change to animal insulin? If so, there's plenty of people on this forum to advise you. You should contact the IDDT (insulin dependent diabetes trust) for support, they're a friendly bunch. Phone number's on the website-

You're not alone, there's loads of us who've suffered side-effects not just on lantus, but other insulins too. It might be worth printing some stuff of the internet and this forum to show your doctor, to support your suspicion. You've sussed out what the problem is, but don't expect that your doc will believe you or take it seriously;unfortunately many dont :evil:
I hope you're off lantus and feeling better soon, and a very warm welcome to the forum
feel free to PM me
