At age 66 I have been diabetic for seven years now, have controlled this with oral meds. Metformin,Januvia and Glimiperide. Lately my a1c has been a little harder to control, the last couple of readings have been 6.5 and 6.8 still below the American Diabetes Assoc. guideline of 7. My doctor keeps wanting to put me on Lantus, I am a little concerned of the side effects. What has been your experience with Lantus or any of the other injectible pen forms of insulin?
