[QUOTE="janabelle, post: 13613, member: 7788"] Hi, regular forum readers may remember that I'd posted a message (or several!) about the problems I have had with Lantus. In the years I had been on it, I had no consistency with my BS control and put it down to my female hormones. I had constantly reported my unexplained ups and downs and severe "hypo and hyper days", and had it shrugged off by the many medics I reported it to. I have now been off Lantus for almost 4 weeks now (almost a full menstrual cycle), and the difference is like night and day. Since I have changed to Porcine Isophane, I have normal predictable control and no "hypo or hyper days",and along with humalog, my blood sugars are controlled and I know longer have unexpected hypos. Another significant difference is that I am no longer constantly hungry and therefore feel confident I will be able to lose weight. On Lantus it was a battle everyday, not too mention the other side effects I was suffering; constant exhaustion, muscle tremors, and generally feeling like death. Time will tell whether they were caused by the lantus. The daily unpredictability was definately caused by Lantus- I have no doubts. Life is better, and I feel in control. Jus [/QUOTE]
