Humulin M3 insulin

[Millhouselady]

Hi, could anyone who also uses this insulin let me know if there are any side effects. Namely, I have lower leg pain and a stiff ankle and the start of this coincided with starting insulin in December.
Many thanks
Sarah

I don't remember getting any lower leg pain when I started Humilyn M3, which is probably about 13 years ago now.

According to this one of the side effects can be swelling of hands and feet. I suspect that might be related to low potassium levels. But I'm not an expert. I think all insulins seem to have this as a side effect, so one possible first step might be to look at ways to increase potassium in your diet. Tomatoes, and have potatoes have quite a lot. Potassium supplements, apparently, aren't a good idea.

It's probably worth talking to the doctor as well.
