Benefits
I take Lantus at night. Very seldom do I have to use the sliding scale coverage for spikes throughout the day. This is great because that means fewer injections! Since finding out I have diabetes 2 years ago, I have also made several lifestyle changes, diet and exercise the biggest changes. I think the combination of lifestyle changes and Lantus has helped to drop my blood sugars to an average range of 110’s to 160’s.
Side Effects
Twice my blood sugar has dropped and I became very jittery and a little confused. This may have been my fault (more than a side effect) as Lantus medication is a long-acting insulin.
