Added LANTUS® as part of my diabetes treatment plan and now see a significant difference in blood sugar levels

My oral medications were not controlling my blood sugar, so I was prescribed LANTUS®. After only a few days on LANTUS® along with my oral diabetes medication, I could see a significant difference in my blood sugar levels. I eat everything in moderation, and I watch my carbohydrate intake.

Maintained good blood sugar levels with the help of LANTUS®

I have had type 2 diabetes for over 10 years and have been on several oral medications, which have not kept my blood sugar levels under control. Even with my medications, I was having blood sugar peaks of over 470, and my blood sugar monitor wasn't able to read my levels at times. My doctor decided to take a blood test to see how well my pancreas was working and the results came back to show that it wasn't working properly. So, my doctor started me on LANTUS® at bedtime. I eventually increased to 20 units, and I'm taking oral medications daily. I watch what I eat. I have maintained blood sugar readings of 70 to 124 with the help of LANTUS® as a part of my overall diabetes treatment plan. What a difference it has made.

Improved blood sugar levels with LANTUS®

I have been a type 2 diabetes patient for 10 years. On February 15, I had to start on insulin. My doctor put me on LANTUS® along with my oral diabetes medication, and since then, my blood sugars have been close to the normal range. My blood sugars have never been this close to the normal range.

Fasting blood sugar level in the target range since adding LANTUS®

I'm 66 years old and have had type 2 diabetes for 20+ years. Nothing had been able to keep my fasting blood sugars under control. I've been on LANTUS® along with other medications for the past 6 months. With the help of LANTUS®, my fasting blood sugar is in the recommended target range, and my A1C has now reached my goal.

Important Safety Information for Lantus®

Prescription Lantus® is for adults with type 2 diabetes or adults and children (6 years and older) with type 1 diabetes who require long-acting insulin for the control of high blood sugar.

Lantus® SoloSTAR® is a disposable insulin delivery device (insulin pen). Needles and the SoloSTAR® pen must not be shared.

DO NOT DILUTE OR MIX LANTUS® WITH ANY OTHER INSULIN OR SOLUTION. It will not work as intended, and you may lose blood sugar control, which could be serious. Do not change your insulin without talking with your doctor. The syringe must not contain any other medication or residue. You should not use Lantus® if you are allergic to insulin. Lantus® is a long-acting insulin you inject just once a day, at the same time each day. You must test your blood sugar levels while using an insulin such as Lantus®.

The most common side effect of insulin, including Lantus®, is hypoglycemia, which may be serious. Other possible side effects may include injection site reactions, including changes in fat tissue at the injection site, and allergic reactions, including itching and rash. In rare cases, some allergic reactions may be life threatening. Tell your doctor about other medicines and supplements you are taking because they can change the way insulin works.
