[QUOTE="alaska, post: 258298, member: 14213"] Hi Nigel Moving back onto Lantus would be an option. When I was on Lantus to start with, I found the Lantus pen dreadful to use (early 2000s). So I instead used a Humapen to deliver the Lantus which worked fine for years until it eventually failed. The HCP's were a bit against this (which is fair enough) but it was a decent solution I found. Maybe the Lantus pens have improved in the last decade (I should hope :) ). At that time -around 2009- there was a scare about Lantus insulin and cancer* so I requested to go onto Levemir instead. I may try a 3 way split of Levemir and see what the differences in test results through the day are. I'm still along the thoughts of buying the strips as I'd feel guilty towards the many people with type 2 who have to pay for each of their strips. Ed * I believe the European Medicines Agency could not find convincing enough evidence of causation of cancer to change prescribing recommendations for Lantus [/QUOTE]
