User Reviews for Lantus Solostar U-100 Insulin subcutaneous

I have been taking Lantus since 5/09 and I am very happy with the results. It took a few weeks to get the results I was looking for. It is nice to only inject once a day. I do not take any pills since starting on Lantus.

my blood suger go down in morning, after break fast goes high and stay high evev i am taking pill.

I have been on Lantus alittle over a month now & they have me up to 80 (trying to stabilize amt needed)& I have experienced lightheadiness, tightness in chest & throat,some pains in stomach after the shot,dizziness at times and some itching..all of this comes & goes but I have noticed it starts to occur 15 to 30 minutes after the shot..when it was lower dosage I didn't notice this happening..I am on lisinopril-hctz 20-12.5 also for high blood pressure...Has anyone else had these problems? help!!!!!!!

I NOW FEEL IN CONTROL,AND CAN FACE EACH DAY.

I am taking 30 units at night and 8 units of nonolog flex pen before every meal and the two together have been great for me.

I was diagnosed with DMII about 3 yrys ago. When on insilun about 1yr ago. First had the lantus with the big needles, hardly took it becasue I hated the needles and getting it all set up. My sugars were running in high 300's sometimes as high as 500! Since I have started this pen, I have found it sooo easy to use. Just turn it to the correct number and put the needle on-which is waaaay smaller. My average A1C use to be 10.3 but since I've started this, my last A1C test - last month- was 6.8!!! I feel better and am so happy with the results. Glad the dietition suggested it to me.Read More Read Less

I HAVE HAD A LOT OF BODY PAIN BOTH JOINT AND MUSCLE IS THIS A SIDE AFECT OF LANTUS

This is my fourth day of use. I froze all night, and have nausea, bad this morning. Any one else have this.?

Began my first injection of Lantus last night. Was nervous - but found it very very easy to use - not painful at all - and no side effects yet - had a BS of 142 this morning - but sadly had a BS of 300 two hours after breakfast. Have high hopes it will work - but not quite convinced with that 300 number. Keeping my finger crossed. Pray for me that it will work and I'll be doing the same for you! Will post progress update in a week or two.

I have had Diabetes for 32 years. The last 6 years I have been taking Lantus along with Novolog. I inject approximately 26 units every evening before bed time. For some reason, not all the time, I get real low after taking the Lantus. This happened recently, where I was at 174, did not eat a snack, went down to 29. Had to have the EMT's here to revive me from an insulin reaction.

Today will be the first day of using this new medicine and I am very leary. It makes me very uneasy trying new meds, I know we are not supposed to go by advice of posts on WebMD by other users but because of some of the positive posts of how it works for others am I going to try it after holding it for about 2weeks before use, especially because I can see others are using this along with other diabetic pills and other insulin pens, which I thought my doctor was crazy saying that I could take all together. I will post again in about 1week or 2 of what I really think. I'm really hoping this pen works as my sugar is wayyyy out of control. Doctor said all I have to take with this one is once daily. Wish me Luck!Read More Read Less

Works great

After almost 3 weeks of using, I started to develop rashes and itcheness all over my body.Besides being diabetic, I am hypertensive and recently underwent angioplasty procedures. My medicines are Tenormin50 mg, Adalat 100/25 mg,Hyzar100 mg, Imdur 60 mg, Niacin 500mg, Flavix 75, Aspirin 325 mg,Lyphantyl 160 mg,Simbastatin 40 mg. Glicazide ( Diamicron MR) 30 mg -(3 tabs), Januvia 50 mg. Is there any complication between my present medications and Lanusa Solo Star ? I am injecting 15mg lanusa at bed time.Read More Read Less

Diabetic for 26+ years. Have tried pills, Different kinds of Insulin, Lantus since April/08. Best control ever. Less hypo/hyper symptoms. Very few reactions.

Have been taking 35units every evening for three months. Every once in awhile some itching at injection site. No weakness. Some burning at the injection sie while administering. Taking with Metformin and Januvia. Blood glucose levels okay but still tending to fluctuate 80 to 100 in the morning.

I have been on Lantus and Humalog since my diagnosis, one year ago. My a1c went from 14.5 at diagnosis to 6.4 after three months. I fluctuate my dose between 6-9 units depending on where I am with my menstrual cycle. 2 consecutive high (110+) readings in the morning means time to increase; 2 consecutive low (-80) morning readings, time to decrease. I inject at 930p, have a snack, and test bg an hour later. My only complaint is that sometimes, if I'm under 110ish when I inject, I'll need to eat two bedtime snacks -- one when I inject, and one after the Lantus has kicked in (to sustain me through the night). Overall, I couldn't be happier.Read More Read Less

Since I have been diagnosed with type 1 Diabetes I have been using Lantus and Humalog They both work very well and the insuln pens are very easy to use. Just a couple turns of the knob and you have the exact amoutn of insulin. It works great!
