[QUOTE="tekcom, post: 149981, member: 12749"] [b]Re: LANTUS PROBLEMS[/b] After reading some of the other posts on here, I am extremely worried. I too am on Lantus and Humalog. At the moment, I am injecing 20 units humalog at breakfast, 35 for lunch, 65 units before evening meal. Then followed by 50 units of Lantus at 10.30pm. Clearly, there is something wrong. :cry: I'm a fairly large chap, so my DSN and Diabetic Consultant both say that the amounts I inject are normal. I have noticed a steady increase in the amount of units I inject, and to add insult to injury my weight is also rising. Do any of you think that there may be a more effective set of insulins which I could move on to? One other thing my GP had suggested was to put me on Metformin tablets as well. This is not possible, due to the fact that when I was first diagnosed I was on the dreaded Metformin. Essentially, it didn't agree with me - and I ended up in hospital for a week. Not good. :( Any suggestions or insights would be very gratefully received. Adam [/QUOTE]
