Lantos Insulin diarrhea?

I doubt it's the lantus, unless you drank it :)

My advice: 1- check your sugar carefully- if you have an infection, your sugar may go higher; if not, you may go lower from the diarrhea

2- no milk for now

3- drink gatorade for hydration

4- eat yogurt (with probiotics) or kefir

5- I would contact dr if: sugar becomes too high to control (300s) or if diarrhea worsens to the point where you can't rehydrate (see # 3) i.e you get light-headed or change in mental status or vomiting

Good luck and remember- life always has periods of ebb and flow

Melissa-

Hello! I used Lantus for a month and I didn't experience diarrhea; we all are different.  Click here and it will take you to the drug facts for lantus.  IF you are getting sick check your bg's and stay hydrated! You should also consult your Physician.

Just want you to know that I also experience the same problem, in my opinion, with Lantos. I have had major diarrhea problems for over five years. we (including many Drs.) have used the process of elimination to determine if my meds were the problem.

Lantos is at the top of the list, of possible causes, or at least a catalyst to the problem. Tests on stool samples come back negative for any bacterias. I'm at wits end.
