August 20, 2009 9:59 AM I first tried Lantus Solostar pens when I was in nursing school and my oral meds quit working. After 6 month I had good control of my fasting BGL, but quit taking it when the cost got to be too much (all student are broke...lol). Pros:Easily portable/disposable. No need to keep cool once opened and is good for 28 days at room temp. Cons:Cost |

August 6, 2009 8:21 PM Blood sugars were fine, but the insulin made me groggy, depressed, and unbelievably lethargic. I had these problems for the six months I took Lantus. They disappeared the day after I discontinued it. |
