I'm a newly diagnosed Type 1..Never took Lantus ( I was on Levemir and Novolog)..But I was very sick on the Novolog and it took 4 mons to figure that out. I am now on Humulog pump so, I don't take any long acting insulin. Talk to your pharmacist. My pharmacist was the person who told me that it was the Novolog making me sick. Yes, you can have side effects to insulin.

I'm sorry to hear that you're suffering. I don't have any answers for you, but here is a (((hug))) and best wishes for feeling well very soon.

Anxiety is no fun, I know. Something that you might look at: how much caffeine are you consuming? Diet cola? Coffee? Tea? I find that I'm very, very sensitive to caffeine and it can make me super anxious.

Are you getting any exercise? Even just going for walks helps your body burn off stress hormones and feel less anxious.

Take care!

Hi Janet. Another suggestion would be to try Levemir, replacing the Lantus. Lantus gave me a constant headache, but I have no side effects with Levemir. (My fast acting is Apidra, again no side effects.) I hope you can find answers at your doctor's appointment.

Apidra I was told no longer in a pen. I take Novolog. At night Lantus. No problems I run 98 to 120 but mostly in 102 104 range. Lorespam can make you dizzy sluggish do not take too much of it. Do not get discouraged./ We all get jittery and anxious. Good Luck.
