User Reviews for Lantus U-100 Insulin subcutaneous

diet very important

Regardless of what I eat or exercise, this insulin does not help. I'm pretty consistent on diet & exercise. Sometimes I think the sugar levels get worse because there is something wrong with the insulin. Let's face it --it's shipped from Germany where it's made; how do we know how it's handled in all climates.

I have only been on this for a short time and don't have really good results yet, but the one thing that bothers me is that about 3-4 hours after injecting i get really sick to my stomach, was wondering if others has this problem.

I am a newly diagnosed Type 1 diabetic and have been on Lantus for 2 months. It has been a struggle to find the right dose. However, since changing my diet to a low carb diet my Lantus dose has been reduced to once daily. It has been very effective and no side effects.

I'm taking 100units every evening and bg still 240 or greater in am have been counting carbs and using novolog sliding scale with meals as well have had some sugars over 300. Just don't think this is working for me maybe need to go back to my old NPH doses

I take 80U of Lantus every night now. Started out at 40U which helped for awhile, but now everytime I go see my Doctor the dosage goes up, as my A1C's have been always high. Since increasing my dosage I have put on 30lbs, which I am not happy about. I also take 1000mg of metformin as well being on a sliding scale for Novalog. I eat smaller meals now and to a certain point I try to avoid eating if possible as my bloodsugars will go through the roof.

I have been a diabetic for 28 yrs. I started with Lantus approx 3 yrs ago. It controls my blood sugar very well. However, the only negative is that I was bottoming out on a regular bases at the beginning. Once my dose was regulated I haven't had any side effects. Would recommend this medication.

I have been a Type 1 for 4 years and take 25 Units at night along with Apidra each time I eat. The only thing bad is I've gained 42 Lbs. of water weight. Somedays I'm a whole size larger than the day before. Since I'm in my 30s my Dr. won't give me Lasix for fear of Kidney problems later. Its frustrating but other than that it works very well. It is very strong and took a while to get the dosage correct.

my fasting sugar has been fine but my sugar is still fine after eating, sometimes 343

I have been taking Lantus for 2 years now and my blood sugar is under control, and I dont find it hard to give myself the shots, I have a scar on my stomach so I dont feel it at all (unless I miss). The only problem I have had is water gain of 45 lbs in the last two years. I dont find Lantus to make me sick or tired. So alitte Lasix compaired to a stroke or another heart surgery is ok with me.

I have been a diabetic (type 1) for 34 yrs and this works good for me I only take 10units and morning and 10 units at night.....YOU HAVE TO REMEMBER ITS ALL IN WHAT YOU EAT!!!!!!!!!!! If you dont eat right then your blood sugars will not be right !! lows and highs !! i USE 1 UNIT OF NOVOLOG FOR EVERY 10 CARBS.. SO IF I EAT A BAGEL WITH CREAM CHEESE THAT IS APROX. 31 CARBS SO I TAKE 3 UNITS OF NOVOLOG. Look for this book "Calorie Fat & Carbohydrate Counter" works GREAT. It has in this book, Diabetes Diet Guide and 200 fast food restaurants and every thing that you could think of in this book to look up the contents of it. AGAIN ITS ALL IN WHAT YOU EAT!!!!

I have been a type 1 diabetic for 25yrs. and take Lantus 42u at night and also take Humalog at meals during the day. As long as I'm healthy and not stressed or the weather doesn't change to much, the insulin works great.

I keep increasing my Lantus and blood sugars do not go down much...Watching my diet and I think I'm gaining weight.......

I have been diabetic for almost 8 years and started using this insulin a couple years ago. I started out taking 14 units and I have been knocked down to taking just 4. I am concerned though because even with 4 units, I have to almost triple how much I eat before I go to bed. It is quite convenient because I only have to take it once every night before I go to bed, but the side effects can be crazy. In my opinion, this stuff is ridiculously strong.

after 2years of useage Lantus is no longer controling my blood sugars. I'm up to 20 units of lantus daily

I have been on lantus for 5 years the night sweats were so bad i would change my night wear up to three times a night, and bedding. Blood suger was fair but the side affects were too much.

Up to 25mg at night of Lantus, Plus 100mg Glucophage and 10 Glucatrol. No change in high (250+) sugar readings.

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 than that don't seem to work near as well. I cannot wait until I get my next blood results in a couple months because I finally feel as though I've gained control of my blood sugar. I hope this helps some of you.Read More Read Less
