Does any one ever had a bad box of Lantus, were you inject it, and it doesn't effect you blood sugar levels, or where one doesn't work but the next one does?

I think in most of our cases we have probably had bad batches of insulin where something similar to this has happened.
So long as you’ve rotated your sites, tried somewhere away from where you usually inject, your insulin is stored as it should be, still within date, no visible damage to the cartridge and it is still happening then I’d consider contacting your doctor to get replacements.

I would also add (apologies if you know this) that it is only effective for about 14 hours after taking it. It explained why I struggled with maintaining my levels. Have now been put on Toujeo which lasts as a slow release for about 26 hours
