Lack of choice of insulin for newly diagnosed patients.
Dog owners who let their dogs poop in the street-a hazard for most, but worse if you're visually impaired!

Hi Simon, welcome to the forum
You asked whether you should be concerned about Lantus, but I think you answer the question yourself in your post. You've not had a BG below 10 in 6 months! Your diabetes team should not be letting this continue, it's disgraceful. The Lantus or dose of Lantus is clearly not working for you, and you need to see your doc as soon as poss to avoid future complications. You need to speak to your diabetes team about increasing your basal dose ;( although I'd never reccommmend that anyone take, let alone increase Lantus for obvious aforementioned reasons :evil: )
Something needs to be done to ensure your levels are significantly lower, and nearer "non-diabetic" levels. Has your consultant told you what levels to aim for before and after meals? You should make an appointment with your team to discuss your concerns.
best of luck
