[QUOTE="Janna, post: 132163, member: 25106"] [b]Re: LANTUS PROBLEMS[/b] Can i have a wee moan? :( Went to see diabetic nurse yesterday and told her my doctor in holland switched me to Insulatard the other day. She seemed all disappointed and said i wish you had trusted me.. Then i explaned to her i couldn't wait till my next apointment in August to get off the Lantus so that's why i asked for help in Holland as there are not long waiting lists there like in Britain. I explained to her it' s not because i didn't trust her, i simply couldn't wait that long, She seemed so insulted, she said we wanted to put you on Levimir (even though i told her previously i had already tried that and i felt ill on that too) and then she went on to say how Insulatard is actually an old insulin too and they'd rather have patients stop using it. I then asked her for advice as even though i feel a hell of a lot better on Insulatard i do have some hypo's and need advice on how to correct them. She said well i'm not going to give you advice seeing you got that insulin in Holland you should ask for advic there. I realized her ego got in the way of trying to get the best outcome for me so i just said ok and left.. Are we fighting a losing bottle against the physicians, diabetic nurses and pharmaceutical industry? I'm starting to feel that what would be best for us is not their concern....... [/QUOTE]
