March 3, 2009 1:58 AM I too gained weight while on Lantus, but I loved the way it worked for me! It stabilzied my BS better than anything else. I was still taking other insulin with it, but I wouldn't go back to the regimen without Lantus! Right now I just need a doctor to listen and pay attention long enough to put me on something! My BS are out of control! I miss Lantus! |
