Hi!
I've been very interested in the Lantus discussions here. I've been feeling like he'll for years. Generally unwell, headaches, constantly exhausted, joint and muscle pain, and sometimes I suddenly come over so sleepy i was starting to think I had narcolepsy. Someone said it was like being poisoned, which I can identify strongly with.
It never occurred to me that Lantus might be the problem. I thought maybe it could be the after effects of glandular fever, which was how I celebrated the millenium! Such a party animal...
Anyway, I'm going to try changing my insulin. I have a scrip for porcine hypurin, and I'm quite eager to start as I have got my hopes up that I might stop feeling like the walking dead. The problem is that I'm having my shoulder operation next Wednesday. It's only a day case but I still have to fast from midnight. I take my lantus in the evening and it's usually more or less predictable. I'm concerned because lantus doesn't peak, but as far as I know the hypurin does. So I don't want to have a night hypo because they'll postpone my op if I have to treat a hypo after midnight.
So I was just wondering what any of you would do. Would you change over now or wait until after the operation?
Thanks!!
