Lantus and ankles

I was on lantus a year and a half ago and had no problems and in fact after 3 months was able to go back to regular diabetic pills.

A couple of months ago I went on lantus because my sugar was out of control again(turns out I had osteo mylitis in my toe--under a docs care as well for my wound)--I had surgery and continued with insulin, and then on 20 units of lantus--my neuropathy was excaberated by the Lantus--every joint that had the neuropathy --toes ankles fingers wrists and even my lower back increased a thousandfold. The burning was so intense(causing nausea and exhaustion) and it was put down to an increase pain of arthritis, but I never had been diagnosed with it this severe and this intense-- I was rocking in pain when my nurse was here--at first it didn't add up until I forgot to take my Lantus for a few days and the pain finally dissipated to my *regular* neuropathic pain. I too feel better since stopping the Lantus.
