What Causes Increase In Blood Sugar Levels After Taking Lantus?

i am on 90 unit of lantus and have been on it for almost 2 years. after opening a new box my next morning levels were 18.3 -12.6 10.5 11.0. i first thought we did eat late the night before after 7 when we usual eat at 5 to 5:30. my normal morning sugars were between 6.5 and 7.5 if the boxes of lantus froze during shipping or in the drug store fridge could that destroy the effect of the lantus.

Hi Dear,

Welcome to HCM.

Understanding your concern. As per your query you have increase in blood sugar levels after taking Lantus . As such there is no effects or side effect of lantus . But if your sugar level increasing despite of taking lantus , there must be something wrong either the drug is not working or some other reasons . I would suggest you to lower your sugar consumption for now , keep measuring your sugar level after fix interval and consult your doctor to discuss the condition . Doctor may alter the dose or prescribe substitute .


Hope your concern has been resolved.

Get Well Soon.
