Global Patient Feedback for Insulin Glargine

Since I've been on Lantus Pen it is one of the easiest pens to use for my diabetes. I have not suffered any side effects from the insulin, and I hate taking needles. I would recommend this pen to anyone first taking pens and it does not cause you to gain weight like several other diabetic medications!!!

More of a question than a comment. I have 2 Lantus SoloStar pens that don't work. The medication does not come out of the pen. Has anybody else had this problem?

So glad to find this website. I have been on 50 units of Lantus at nighttime for two yrs and also on Synthroid which keeps going up. I just changed doctors. New doc put me on Victoza injection at 10 a.m., then Kombiglyze after supper, 175 mcg of Synthroid, 40 mg of Benicar and 45 units of Lantus at bedtime. So frustrated over the cost as well. Having side effects but great decrease in ravenous hunger. I hope this input helps anyone else out there and I welcome your responses.
