FDA reviewing safety of Sanofi's Lantus insulin

This is scary, especially since I've been using Lantus for over 5 years, as of lately twice a day!!! It's not bad enough to have diabetes in the first place which can kill you if it's not under control...Now it could be possible that the insulin usage of Lantus is also dangerous to your health...God help us!!!

Why do you take it 2x a day. Doctor told my husband he should only take it once and if your reading is over 200 then use sliding scale with R

It is appropriate to take lantus twice daily. That helps to flatten the action. The cancer connection may relate to high insulin levels rather than the insulin type. Metformin reduces this risk 50% |

Hi Rose, thanks for the reply!!! I also take Metformin 500mg 3X daily...My fasting fbs numbers are pretty low...I'm keeping my eyes and ears open for more info about Lantus and I have very carefully cut it back some without any serious reactions...I have an appointment with my doctor in a couple of days, so I'll see what he recommends...

Daily Horoscope for December 2
Pisces
The Gemini Full Moon shines the spotlight on your home and family; you may feel torn between your place in your family and your need to have an identity in the outside world. There may be a tug-of-war going on between your private and personal lives; as hard as it may be, try to find a balance. Don't try to please everyone, dear Pisces. Please yourself for once and see how much happier you can be.
