Comment:
I have been taking this medication for quite some time now. My sugars had been regularly over 300, but are now 100-130 in the AM, and sometimes in the 90s. I see a light rise in my sugars during the day, but only about +20-30 (which is normal). The only hard part was getting used to injections, but since they are now a normal part of my day, it's really not a big deal.

This product has worked magic with my blood sugar. I have been on it for about 5 mo's and after a period of "figuring it out" under docters direction it works teriffic. Dosage varies based on what I eat and carb intake. Couldn't be happier.

Comment:
Started taking Humalog 3 weeks ago. Dose 10 units 3 times daily along with one dose of 15 units of Levermir at bedtime, and one 1000mg metformin in morning and one in evening. BS has dropped from low 300's down to mid 100's during that time, but, I have gained easily 10 pounds without changing my diet at all. Hopefully BS numbers will continue down, and the weight will ultimately do the same!

Comment:
Placed on Humalog/Lantus 6 months ago. Had fasting BS of 380-500. Now have fasting BS of 210-250. 160 units daily with little effect. Hit donut hole and pharmacy wants $225 per 5 pack. Without supplemental Medicare, donut hole cost is $555.30. Who can afford this? Will have to end diabetes meds due to extremely high cost, and only minor results.
