Feeling fuller quicker when I eat and having to make myself eatg snacks and more at meal times since its curbed my appetite. Will review again after a month or so.

The Lantus is working; so well that I have hypoglycemia during the night, a couple of times a month. In only 5 months I have put on 10 pounds inspite of INCREASING my strenuous exercise routine in an effort to keep the weight off. I plan to ask the Dr to consider another alternative as I cannot afford to replace my clothes and pay for my meds.

As long as I remember to take the medication, it is good.
