Lantus and blood sugar

I have been on Lantus for about 6 months and my asthma has gotten so bad I can barely breathe. I know it is the Lantus because I stopped all my other new meds but it and I still can't breathe. I hate to stop it because my blood sugar is doing great!!

I have had severe weight gain. 30lbs in one month of bloating. The doctor put me on Demedex for water retention. I have been on that for a week now and it has made no difference as of yet. This is ridiculous. I have so much swelling in my legs and feet that it feels like they are submerged in buckets filled with concrete. Yes my blood sugar has lowered significantly...but I am more miserable now then when my sugars were over 300. Is there anything else out there that is better than this?????

I've used Lantus since may of 2004. I gained approximately 20 lbs in about 2 months and experienced the following: nausea, feeling cloudy, dizziness and headaches a few times a week. My blood sugar is always between 80 to 120 probably 8 out of 9 glucose tests. I didn't take Lantus for one week and after 24 hours all of the negative symptoms were gone. However, my blood sugar was higher between 140 to 200 but I felt 100 times better. I'm going to attempt to get stronger pills than the 60 mg of Starlix I am taking and/or different insulin.

I've been on Lantus for about a year now and never tied things together till reading this. Ive had horrendously blurred vision though the eye doc says my prescription hasn't changed. I have bad bad backaches, and though my A1C is right at 6....my morning blood sugars run 130 to 185. At no other time of day is my blood sugar over 110. I don't understand this. WHY would a bedtime blood sugar be 75-90 at 9 pm.......and at 3am is over 140? Its like the Lantus does nothing. I just don't like the side effects with this stuff.

I have also noticed blurred vision, bloating, stomach cramps and severe muscle aches since I have once again been on Lantus. I have rheumatoid arthritis as well as diabetes, but had been off of Lantus for a while because my insurance's copays were too high. At that time, other then my blood sugar staying in the 300's, I felt so much better. My neuropathy is bad when the blood sugar rises, but since back on Lantus, I feel horrible.

blure vision been taking lantus for almost a year now. all of the sudden i have blure vision . blood sugar ok
