sugar control, which could be serious. Do not change your insulin without talking with your doctor. The syringe must not contain any
other medication or residue. You should not use Lantus

if you are allergic to insulin. Lantus

is a long-acting insulin you inject just once a
day, at the same time each day. You must test your blood sugar levels while using an insulin such as Lantus

The most common side effect of insulin, including Lantus
®
, is hypoglycemia, which may be serious. Other possible side effects may
include injection site reactions, including changes in fat tissue at the injection site, and allergic reactions, including itching and rash. In rare
cases, some allergic reactions may be life threatening. Tell your doctor about other medicines and supplements you are taking because they
can change the way insulin works.
