Hi Bigrobxxx

Did you get to see the nurse about the burning problem you had when injecting? Has that cleared up?

There are lots of problems that could cause the symptoms you describe, including tendon problems Best to get it checked out.

Take care

Hi doug,

Yes I spoke to my nurse she told me it's common with lantus and to persist if I can so I am and must confess it has improved but now feel I have more issues and struggling to cope with it all been suffering depression for the last 5 years and then a year ago being told about diaebetes it's just too much.... This forum is good and a great help, thanks again for the reply mate... Take care

Rob
