Lantus and insomnia

I too have experienced muscle weakness (especially in the legs), cramps, bloating, weight gain, skipped beats, rapid heart beat, swelling, diarrhea, insomnia and high morning blood sugars. Each time my dosage is increased, the more negative side effects occur. I'm not sure about this drug. What would happen if I reduced or stopped the dosage?

restless legs at night, severe leg swelling especially in the evenings, itchy rash on legs, possible eczema ( I have never ever experienced until Lantus), insomnia...I can't string more than 3 hours of sleep together at one time, wake up with cold sweats and confusion, really bizarre dreams, weight gain (rapid), severe cough, terrible back pain....sometimes standing for more than 10 minutes kills me.....Is it just me or does Lantus smell horrible?

used lantus for year and only side effect i have had was blurred vision....cramps...ED....insomnia

I have experienced insomnia and muscle aches as well. Recently, my endocrinologist informed me that some research is showing that Lantus is appearing to work closer to 20 hours rather than 24, thus possibly causing periods of high blood sugars.
