Humalog in addition to Lantus to help control spikes in my blood sugar level has been ineffective totally, with no better control of my diabetes and a weight gain of approximately 20 pounds, which is not good for my cardiac condition.

I have tried a lot of different Insulins and this is the only one I seem to be able to take. All of the pills and shots have made my stomach swell out a lot!!! I asked the dr. why, and she said it's a side effect. When I was on the pills my sugar dropped constantly. I see other people complain about gaining weight too. What a bummer!! Have changed my eating habits, but does not seem to help much.
