I have had great results with this, since I was diagnosed 11 months ago I have been on numerous different medications. My A1C b4 beginning this was 10.4, but now my b/s stays in the low to mid 100's 2 hours after a meal with a lower carb meal plan. The only problem I've had is getting properly adjusted, I take 28 units a day and have dropped below 70 and became disoriented twice, but lower dosages...

I am taking 50 units of Lantus and it is not helping control my sugar at all.

Once a day injection is easy but setting dosage was time consuming with a lot of hit or miss dosage with my doctor until we got the right amount.

It has caused me to gain weight. I wish there was a different medication to use.

Type two, I have used Lantus for two months, it's easy and it has dropped my level from 280 to 105 on average. I started out with 10u, settled on 32u with no problems.

Lantus controlled sugar count, but caused hives/ rash all over arms and legs. Switched to Levimir and the hives went away.

I have had diabetes for almost 27 years and have only just started using Lantus for the last week. I find it great, still have a bit of 'tweaking' to do but in general it's fine. The only thing is I've put on weight when I've been quite stable for years. If I get too big I think I'll go off it!

I've used Lantus for Seven years without even one problem. Just remember,Lantus is a time release insulin. so if i'm going to eat a big meal, i take a little Humalog about 20 minutes before i eat, so my blood-sugar won't spike."I have a 110 ave." 54

I was diagnosed with Type 2 about 10 weeks ago. Dr. put me on Lantus. I am taking 24 units each night (and Humulin in the a.m. if glucose is below 150 per dr.'s instructions). So far, I've only needed the Humlin four times. Lantus seems to do a nice job keeping my glucose levels under control. Occasional spikes and lows seem to be attributable to diet choices and exercise patterns. My only minor complaint is that my skin sometimes stings at the injection site, but this goes away within a few minutes. Since taking Lantus, I also sometimes experience significant sweating in my sleep - so much so that it drenches my shirt (although I cannot be sure this is attributable to Lantus, and not some other medications I began taking around the same time).Read More Read Less

I was not experiencing great success with this, until I switched from a 6mm needle to an 8mm needle -- now getting great BG results!

I've been on Lantus in conjunction with my humalog.  I take it at night.  It significantly aids me in controlling by blood sugar.  If there is a problem it's because I'm not controlling my diet.
