[QUOTE="janabelle, post: 87968, member: 7788"] Hi, was your girlfriend ever on animal insulin? If so, perhaps she should think about changing back-it's still available(thank god). I'm a diabetic of 20 years and after 15 years on synthetic 'human' insulin and 4 1/2 years of hell on Lantus, I am qualified to say that the best control I've ever had is on animal insulin. I changed to it just over a year ago and take porcine Isophane (long-acting) and porcine neutral (short-acting). I, like many others, felt like death on Lantus. Not only did it not control my blood sugar-control was inconsistent and unpredictable-, but it made me feel like a zombie, exhausted, and suffering physical side-effects suchas muscle and joint pains. I have many people contact me privately on this forum having probs, particularly on Lantus (Glargine). If you want any more info feel free to private message me or contact the IDDT (insulin dependent diabetes trust) for advice. Best of luck Jus [/QUOTE]
