I have been on lantus for a while..the first few months were perfect...good HbA1c's. Then all hell broke loose...my sugars started fluctuating, HbA1c always above 8%, added 15 kgs...especially around my abdomen and am always bloated. Am really tired of people asking when am due..and am not even pregnant..just on LANTUS!!!

I had the same problem with my belly, hands, feet and ankles swelling. My Dr. prescribed Lasix (Furosimide) - $4.00 at Walmart and Spironolactone (helps protect your potassium). Both are Diuretics and work great Good Luck!
