    Can insulin raise glucose levels

    My sugars have always been between 9 and 11 so I have recently started lantus however this morning after having the same breakfast I normally do my reading went from 9.3 to 20.1. I have never gone that high before so was wondering if the lantus could be causing it. Any ideas much appreciated.

    I was wondering do people with 3c diabetes control glucose levels the same as type 2. The reason I ask is I was diagnosed with type 2 after severe pancreatitis and losing half of it to necrosis and the problem I have is my levels are linked more to pancreatic pain than sugar. For example I...
