[QUOTE="kitedoc, post: 1832519, member: 468714"] Hi [USER=484384]@Lisac150[/USER], I am bit confused about your basal insulin prescription. You say you were first prescribed Levemir ( in hospital ? ) and this was changed for ?what reason and when ? ? and ? sent home on Lantus ?. As you were advised aches and pains accompanying high BSLs at diagnosis can be associated with high BSLS and perhaps other diabetes effects.. I certainly found they settled as my BSLs improved. If there was a recurrence of aches and pains with relatively normal BSLS maybe the insulin ? Lantus is a possible cause. Its side effects include muscular aches and pains. ( see drugs.com Lantus side-effects in detail) But there could be other causes. Levemir may cause joint pain (drugs.com Levemir side-effects in detail. Perhaps if you point out to your GP the side-effect profile of whichever insulin you have been using most recently (and discuss what happened with Levemir) it may be possible to find a solution for you. I am amazed that neither you health team or GP could not source the information themselves. Of course there is no improvement there could be another cause. Good luck and best wishes! [/QUOTE]
