    Diagnosed 2 year ago placed on Lantus/ Humalog 6 months ago. Some effect, dropping from "normal 380-500" range to fasting of 210-295. Very expensive for very little results. No assistance as I am on medicare.In donut hole, costs over $1000 a month. Not good for me. Will settle for old 380-500 range.

It has made a huge difference in my life.

This is the only time I've found lantus to be uncomfortable to inject. So if you ... Show Full Comment
