[QUOTE="janabelle, post: 31662, member: 7788"] Sarah, you were a great help to me in making a decision to change to animal insulin, and life's been great since, so I'm very grateful for your advice. The main reason I remain active on this forum is because my experience on Lantus was so bad, that I want to keep telling my story to ensure no-one else suffers and thinks their life is over, as I did-I truly thought I was dying. I have had someone contact me recently with similar problems to that which I suffered while on Lantus. I can't emphasise enough how awful my quality of life was for 4 years while on Lantus, and if me telling my experience helps just one person, then that's a result. I'm not dead against synthetic insulins, despite what my recent rants may suggest. I do still take humalog, and I agree with you Paul, synthetic rapid-acting analogues are superior in their action & do "exactly what it says on the tin", but my long-term goal is to ween myself off it and on to Porcine Neutral. I take as little Humalog as possible, following a fairly low-carb diet a la Eddie! That's how I know my Pork Long-Acting is very effective. I have no doubt that Lantus is a faulty product, and nothing anyone has said on this forum has changed my mind. In fact, everytime I do an internet search I find more people coming out of the woodwork with problem after problem with this product. I'll shut up now before a huge pharmaceutical company send a hit-man for me! Jus [/QUOTE]
