Yes you have guessed it Lantus.That GP has since left the surgery and because I have been feeling more and more unwell I decided enough was enough. My problems started some 3 weeks after starting with Lantus. I have been back to the GP various times only to be told that I was suffering from the male menopause.I have always felt unwell, very lethargic. If I sit for about 30 minutes I will fall asleep, I am getting forgetful and depressed, I lack concentration and have aching limbs. Having no energy is really depressing, along with sweating excessively especially in bed. I can wake up in the night and it is as though I have just got out of the shower. I have to buy a new pillow every month. One of the worst parts is that I have to ensure that my blood sugar is at least 11 before I go to bed if not I will have a hypo at about 03:30 (down to lower 3's or 2's). I inject 38 units of Lanuts first thing every morning. Along with taking Gliclazide and Metformin. One of the worst problems is the internal shaking. The only way that I can describe this is if you ride on a very fast roller coaster. The feeling you get as your internals are thrown about is the feeling I get somedays. It used to last about and hour, now it can last 2 or 3 days and has expanded to include my arms and legs. I have tried Novomix 60 but I could not control my blood sugars using it, they never came below 15. I would like to thank everyone who has written on this forum becasue now I know that I am not going out of my mind. </p><p></p><p>Andy K</p></blockquote><p></p>
