[QUOTE="db89, post: 1691528, member: 374526"] If you strongly suspect Lantus is causing you to feel ill please keep up asking for a change. It's disappointing to hear that your clinic isn't listening to you and allowing you to try and improve your therapy. What reasoning (other than a flat 'no') have they given you when this has been brought up? Insulin detemir (Levemir) is the basal insulin of choice according to NICE [URL='https://www.nice.org.uk/guidance/ng17/chapter/1-Recommendations#insulin-therapy-2']guidelines[/URL] that should be offered. Lantus doesn't do this to me but my DSN was the one who suggested I split my Lantus in the first place and has allowed me to experiment (carefully) with how I do this. On one occasion I have even gone back to once a day slowly to suit my needs for a few weeks but I do find personally that I get better results with a split dose. [/QUOTE]
