Insulin Allergy

[JoolsSugar]

I was diagnosed 10 years ago with T2, tablet and diet initially, but about 4 years ago, I was put on insulin.
Approx 3-4 weeks after starting my insulin injections I started getting pins and needles/burning sensation on large patches all over my skin.
Checking with the doctor I was put on Gabapentin tablets (which are for epilepsy) and have been on these ever since.
Has anyone else had this reaction, what did you do/your doctor say, are you still suffering.
Thanks

I had a reaction to every long acting insulin, which was only resolved when I went onto a pump. I'd ask your gp for a different insulin, to see if that helps. Which insulin are you on?
