I have been on Lantus & Humalog for about 3 years. I am a 75 yr old male T2 and the only other meds I currently take are Toprol XL and aspirin. After reading all these Lantus postings, I decided it was time to quit Lantus just to see what happened. Like one other person said, "all of a sudden the fog lifted"! I am a different person. I can now sing in church (after 3 days off of Lantus). Before this, I did not have enough breath to sing. When I was on Lantus I had many sleepless nights, suffering from RLS and leg pain. Now I am sleeping the entire night through. These benefits are the tip of the iceberg, I just feel better all over. Needless to say, I am injecting more Humalog now to make up for the absent Lantus but that will not be a problem. Please understand I am not advocating this for anyone else, I am simply reporting what happened to me. I see my doctor in a couple of weeks and can't wait to share the news with her.
