Hi everyone,I've been on lantus for about 2yrs and I'm up to 95 units a day and what I want to know is if anyone else is taking a similar dose or even higher and if anyone was having or have had any side effects

I am taking Lantus too, 12 units a day. Night time only. During the day I am taking humalog. 8 units for breakfast, 10 for lunch and 10 for supper. No addition meds either. But the numbers are creeping up and when I go to the Dr. on Monday, I will see if she changes it or adds something else.

    People who were alive during 9/11/2001 have a story of how the attacks on the USA impacted their lives. Feel free to share.....I graduated from law school on Sat, Sep 15, 2001 at age 24.  Many families did not attend the graduation ceremony because the airplanes were grounded.  I was a law clerk for a certain government agency for two years while in law school and was looking forward to a great...
