I have been on Lantus for at least ten years and over the last year I have felt, tired and how can I say .. not in the best of health. I am healty but just feel kack. My BG although never perfect has always been relativley stable if not a bit higher than it should be, but since having a really bad hypo a few months ago, I just can't seem to control my sugar levels, they always seem very high. I can take 20 Lantus at 10pm and my BG will be around 7 at 10am, have a banana for breakfast and 10 units of Humalog eat nothing all day and have a BG of 23 by 3pm !!
The next day could be the same scenario but by 3pm my BG will be 4 which is what I would expect.
After reading with interest many of the post's on the forum it seems the Lantus may well be the culprit. So I have decided to make an appointment at the diabetic clinic and see if I can get off the Lantus, also a friend of mine has dumped the Humalog (Lispro) and gone on to Apidra and finds this a lot better although she is on Lantus and complains of feeling tired and generally unwell similiar to myself.
My lifestyle is such that I do not have a regimented routine which is not helpful.!
Any thoughts on changing to Apidra and what to change the Lantus to.
