  • yeah I think I may use too much. (20-30 units nightly) If It was at my injection site, i'd understand more why it would sting but its a weird feeling. Im going to ask my doctor if I can split it up? Speaking of Doctors... I have to find a new one. I called to confirm my apt and to let work know to find out SHE MOVED…

  • I also use the novolog pen, but never had any "side effects" from it. I use the lantus at night and mid morning I have this burning sensation in my stomach and I notice it is only after I use lantus. I looked up side effects and this isn't listed. Hmm.

  • My entire family knows my weight gain/loss/insulin issue. Ive asked for help. It hasn't become routine and sometimes I honestly just need a reminder. I have set an alarm for the Lantus at night. I know it's a grieving issue. I became diabetic not even a month after my nephew passed. My nephew became very sick when he was…

  • I do think I need that fear in me.. even tho ive seen it happen to my uncle. I just really don't understand it at all. I took my lantus last night and feared getting on the scale.

  • That kills me! Ive started doing homemade smoothies as my breakfast. Great right? no. I need to add more veggies I guess. But you're right. I can't do this to my son. I always mention him, but it's my husband as well. He didn't come into this marriage for his wife to do this to herself. Sick thing is, I told him I needed…

  • Thank you ladies. I was upset no one responded, and again felt so alone. Now im in tears. I am being so selfish. I don't want my son having to give up his own life to take his mom to dialysis or hospital or to take flowers to my grave. It is so hard. Im crying really knowing what im doing to myself, but haven't taken…
