Re: Starting Lantis....

I have gained some weight after I was put on the lantus and thats stresses me out because I worked so hard to lose weight and the heavier you get the more your blood sugar raises.. I take 50 units of lantus twice a day and 1000 mg of metformin twice a day but the lantus doesnt seem to be working for me and my dad was also on it he passed away now but the lantus didnt work for him either.. I wish you luck on it..

I guess that you are a bit stressed out because of the weight gain, but anytime that you're taking a large amount of insulin throughout the day, we will gain weight. But you are taking a lot of insulin during the day, are you sure that it's the Lantus that's not working, or is it the metformin? I did gain weight also, but I was taking Lantus a night, and Humalog during the day also with a pill, so I kinda knew that I was going to gain, but my sugars are a lot more under control, but I guess it's just trial and error. One!
