I like using Lantus because it is long lasting. I only have to use it before I go to bed. Because it is long lasting I don't have to worry about my sugar spiking in the middle of the night.

The first time I was on it I had a lot of joint and muscle pain but I have not experienced that this time around.

These side effects are well wo... View full comment
