[QUOTE="catapillar, post: 1619958, member: 32394"] It's normal for lantus to sting. It's suspended in an acidic solution, so it can and does sting. And yes, it's normal to occasionally bleed after injections if you catch the wrong bit when sticking the needle in. If you think you are experiencing other symptoms related to lantus and you have had an allergic reaction to levemir there are plenty of other basal insulins to try. Or there's a pump which omits basal insulin entirely. You say you want to improve your insulin sensitivity. What makes you think you have any issues with sensitivity? What is your total daily dose? What is your weight (you can figure out whether the amount you are injecting is average for a person of your weight)? [/QUOTE]
