When I first went on Lantus, I, too thought it was working ok. Looking back the side-effects, anxiety, aches and pains, etc started within months, but the erratic control was so inconsistent, and I had no reason to think it was the Lantus-expecially as my diabetes nurse kept saying it was the best thing since sliced bread! She's emigrated since, but I'd love to contact her to let her know I finally found out what was wrong with me.I've never been on Levermir, was on insulatard before Lantus. I have better control on pork than I've ever had in 20 years, it's never perfect, but the closest I'll get I think.Best of luck with your pregnancy, it really is the best time in your life. When u think how it was years ago for diabetic mothers, we are very lucky now. I had 2 normal, induced, births and 1 elective cesaerian with my 3rd, only because it had to be planned aroung my eldest's chemo and surgery.  All these celebs that choose c-section, they're nuts cos it's definately not an easy option. I had the most fabulous obs consultant, she looked after me so well, got me a private room and even took my stitches out herself, it made such a difference and I've never forgotten her kindness.Jus</blockquote>
