[QUOTE="chromaloma, post: 1211009, member: 104854"] What probably happened here was your lantus working much faster than normal (malabsorption), possibly due to the shower. It has happened to me as well. I have stopped showering right before or after taking lantus. Blood vessels are bigger after a shower, which increase blood stream around the injection spot (if showering after taking lantus), or makes it easier to inject into a small vessel (if showering before taking lantus). Read up on lantus lows, and everything suddenly makes sense. IMO lantus should never have been on the market. Also, doctors don't properly tell people how one randomly can get the long acting working as fast acting, just by being unlucky. I am waiting for more info from my endo about switching to levemir, as I've heard it uses a different crystallization method. I need to get that verified, because these random extreme drops is not viable. If you experience this more, I'd suggest that you check into other options of long acting, like levemir. I know how scary these drops are, and people generally doesn't seem to understand that this do happen to some people. [/QUOTE]
