User Reviews for Lantus Solostar U-100 Insulin subcutaneous

I really like Lantus. I was switch to it along with Novolog from Glipizide because my husband and I are trying to conceive. It started working and bringing my numbers down within a day or two and it consistently keeps them down. My latest A1C was 5.9%. I take 10 units per day. I like insulin so much that I am considering switching to it for good even when we are not trying to get pregnant. Its nice to not have to take a ton of pills each day.

ITS NOT GOIN A THING

My A1c is running between 5.8 and 6.2 for the last two years.

doctors say I am a type 1.5 diabetic. Something in jene pool. Have always been little. Been taking 20 units of lantus for 5 years at bedtime and have great results. No side effects at all.

Have been on Lantus for over a year at 80+ units nightly. Had too many side effects from every pill. No side effects on lantus. Still have trouble with control of high sugars sometimes. Over all I feel the best since started taking Lantus.

i have been on this medication or almost 2 weeks. so far no problems except i feel cold a lot. have been taking metformin and glipizide for some time now and have adjusted the metformin to 500 mg in the a.m. and 1000 mg at bedtime along with my injection.

I have been on lantus for about a week, with excellent results. For the first time in 20 years i feel I will be able to control my sugars!!

it has helped me very much when oral pills stoped working as they should. fear to start but it is so easy to do. more strenth and more active. great drug

I have been using Lantus for 1 and 1/2 months. I still take metforman and glimperide daily. It appears to have improved and stabilized my blood sugar. I do still have some issues with getting a good nights rest but I'm not certain it is due to the Lantus. I hope to be able to get off the pills all together. So far so good and I do have more energy now than before.I do not any negitive things to say at this time and hope it remains that way.

My wife complains of a serious bad breath coming from me she says its a horrible chemical smell worse than mothballs and she avoids getting close to me. We know its the insulin because the odor went away when I stopped taking it for a few days when starting Atkins diet. Anyone else experience the horrible breath odor, I do not smell it of course but she is aghast!

lantus has been a successful medication. the only downfall i have is it causes weight gain.

I HAVE BEEN ON LANTIS ABOUT A MONTH AND MY COUNTS ARE STILL HIGH AND OUT OF CONTROLL

I have been on Lantus Solostar for 3 months and it immediately started working for me. I had no Idea I was diabetic, as I went to the MD for unexplained weight loss (down to 95 pounds) and found that my bs was averaging at around 460. I have it controlled to around 70 to 118. I take it at night (8 units) and sometimes I wake up with extreme low bs (as low as 45), overall It has really worked for me.

My blood sugar still 150-250 at 50 units at bedtime. I have stomach cramps, gas and a slight diarrhea all the time. Very dissatisfied with the medication results.

when i started this med my bs was running between 300 to 500. within 3 weeks i run about 111 at 41 units. easy med and convenant.

gaining weight while maintaining diet & exercise, developing belly fat

I start taking Lantus 1 month ago started out with 10 mg Lantus once a day & 5 mg Glipizide & 850 mg of Metformin twice a day. I did not see a difference in my blood sugars - found that if I don't eat or as much and am really carefull what I eat levels stay lower - eat anythng sweet and they are high- since starting I have not seen my levels under 150 - decide to go to specialist and get second opinion. Also notice since being on this I am weaker and by whole body aches - at times my legs hurt and keep me up at night will be discussing all of this with the specialist. Not sure any of this works - going to work harder and reducing my weight so hopefully will not need to take any more. Will up date after seeing specialist. thank you for listening.
