[QUOTE="DiabeticVeteran, post: 143801, member: 24184"] [b]Re: LANTUS PROBLEMS[/b] Hi All, I thought i would give an update to my progress here...... Well, it has been 6 months since coming off Lantus & NovoRapid and transferring onto Hypurin Porcine Isophane & Neutral Animal Insulins. Many things have changed in my life over this period of time.... 7 weeks after transferring to Animal Insulin, I lost nearly 1 1/2 Stone! I did get this checked out & did some research myself & it was a very high probability down to Water Retention. I am not confused any more, which is lovely :D I am not dependant on Lucozades any more... Going from spending nearly £15 a week on them, when using the old insulins, I am lucky now, if I spend £1.50 a week! HBA1C Readings are much better... lower than using the previous insulins BUT without the continuous "freaky" hypo's all the time. It is the best I have felt physically now, for the last 15+ years. One other observation i have found is that when i was using the old insulin & i would get stressed, it would have a high tendancy to drop my Blood Glucose levels! With using the Animal Insulin, it is the total opposite, they run higher as your bodies metabolism slows down, due to the stress! SO MANY people have commented on the positive changes & I for one,are over the moon with the results. It just goes to show, that I was not compatible with Human Insulins, like others & there MUST be this need to have Animal Insulins readily available for people with such cases ?!?!? Speak soon Take care all. Steve :mrgreen: :mrgreen: [/QUOTE]
