[QUOTE="janabelle, post: 9813, member: 7788"] I am sick to the back teeth of the unpredictability of my blood sugar levels. I have blamed it on my hormones and "time of the month" for so long. I have had tests for this and that. But now the high and low days do not relate to anything in particular and I have come to the conclusion that it is the fault of the Lantus I have been taking for 3 years. When I think back, most of the problems I have had with my health started after my diabetes nurse changed me to Lantus from my Insulatard. It began with stomach problems, belching, symptoms of an ulcer my doc thought. Ihad pains in my arms and joints, and was told I had fibromyalgia, although i took that with a pinch of salt! I have felt generally unwell some days for no reason. My blood sugar varies so much from day to day, despite taking the same dose of lantus and eating the same things. i have what I call "hypo days" quite often when I find it hard to keep my blood sugars to a normal safe level throughout those days. Other days the lantus doesn't seem to work at all! I have read a lot of info about these new GM insulins on the IDDT website, and have made an appt with my consultant to get off the stuff. I've been on human insulin for 19 years since diagnosis in my late teens,and I would like to give purified animal insulins a try. would love to hear from members who are on animal insulin, and hear your experiences of it. Also has anyone experienced similar probs with lantus? I just want to feel well again and have a better quality of life, I feel there may be hope for me on a different insulin. Justine :) [/QUOTE]
