User Reviews for Lantus U-100 Insulin subcutaneous

This medication has worked very well to control my blood sugar, but I gained 45 pounds in 8 months after starting it. Not very happy about that.

Been taking Lantus for 5 months now. Started out at 18 units now up to 90 units. Readings in the am are still high

I break out in hives is this normal DOES anyone else have this problem

Diagnosed 2 year ago placed on Lantus/ Humalog 6 months ago. Some effect, dropping from "normal 380-500" range to fasting of 210-295. Very expensive for very little results. No assistance as I am on medicare.In donut hole, costs over $1000 a month. Not good for me. Will settle for old 380-500 range.

I use lantus solo star pen for my injections. It has been amazing at controling my high blood sugar! The pen is extremely easy to use and mostly pain free. After priming the pen you must make sure there is not any insulin left on the tip of the needle or this will cause a stinging sensation at the injection site. This is the only time I've found lantus to be uncomfortable to inject. So if you make sure after prime the needle tip is clear of insulin, the injection will be toatlly painless! Also make sure your pen is at room tempature before injection. Lantus pen is much more convient than an insulin vial and syringe. You just dial your dose in a clearly seen window and it delievers your percise dose! No more drawing up from a vial! The needle is so small its been painless! I love the pen , its so descret you can take it anywhere and it looks like a marker pen! All in all for me lantus gets a five star rating! I'm very satisfied with this product! Read More Read Less

9 units at bedtime. It seems to be doing a good job.

I've been using this medication for 12 wks now and have finally stabalized. Before using my bs a1c was 300 now with 55mg every evening my a1c is at 130 which is less than 7%, and what others have mentioned, injection sites around waste sting and get red. I would suggest top of thigh area. No pain and very little redness.

I have had type2 for 3 years I have been on lantus for for about 1 year my sugars was between 3 to 4 hundred I take 10units in the morning and two doses of metformin and taking 32 units at night taking 32 but now when I get up its in the 50's 60s it has worked really great for me even when I don't like watching it but Im really trying

My average blood sugar levels were between 300-400 daily. Was taking Metformin and Glyburide for more than a year with verry little changr. Started injecting Lantus at 10 units daily, settled at 30 units daily. Combined with Actos and Glipizide, my fasting blood sugar levels went from 300-400 to less than 200 each morning. Now my blood sugar levels are averaging 110 fasting :)

I take lantus 50 units a day and 25 units of Humalog insulin a day before each meal and blood sugar is not under control approx.250/day and feel worse than ever also 20mg of lisinopril and hydrochlorothiazide 12.5 mg/day

Currently at 70 units, have taken this for over 2 yrs. Little improvement of BS levels even w/ Metformin and Amaryl. Proper lifestyle changes made - what else is there to use?

I have been a Type 1 diabetic for 56 of my 59 years. I did NPH/Regular insulin injections for years, suffering extreme highs and lows (lows at night while asleep). A couple years ago, I switched to Lantus in morning and Apidra before each meal to cover carb consumption. Getting the basal Lantus dosage right was hard. But after that, I've gotten great results 'specially since Lantus doesn't peak much at all for me. I'm no longer afraid of hypoglycemic episodes while I'm sleeping at night. Best of all, my A1C level has improved over the last several months. So far, I love this med!Read More Read Less
