The toujeo requires a slightly higher dose (30 units) and burns much much less. | F | 45 | 3 months 23 units 1X day | 11/18/2015 | 1 | Type II Diabetes | The major side effect was that I gained 37 pounds in 11 months, going from a slim 169 to a fat 206, while taking it. The extra wait rendered Lantus non-effective for me. I gained this weight even as I swam regularly 3 - 5 times a week. | As of yesterday, my Dr agreed that the added wait was not good for me and removed me from Lantus and returned me to Metformin twice a day and Victoza at the lowest level, once a day. Good riddance Lantus. | M | 55 | 11 months 50MG 1X day | 11/10/2015 |
