For Type 2 Diabetes "After increasing my dosage from once to twice daily, I have gained 20 lbs in 5 months. After the first 2 months, developed heart failure, and I get out of breath very easily. Will be speaking to my endocrinologist regarding these unwanted side effects. Have only seen the doctor one time in 6 months, otherwise, dealing with a nurse practitioner."

For Diabetes, Type 1 "This insulin is terrible. My boyfriend almost died today because he took the normal amount of insulin, and it was too much for his body, and his sugar dropped to 26. When your sugar is that low, it can cause fatal symptoms, including passing out, disorientation, memory loss, seizures, and even death. My boyfriend ended up an hour away in the middle of nowhere, and he was lost. He was passed out and almost died, it was lucky his parents found him. SWITCH brands, this insulin is too strong and has too many side effects. My bf got lucky today, maybe he won’t next time."

For Diabetes, Type 1 "I have used Humalog and Novolog. They both work the same for me. Right now, I don't have insurance, so I get an insulin at Walmart called Novalin R. It only costs $27.37, and it works great."

For Diabetes, Type 1 "The medicine works fine, but it is in the absolute worst delivery system ever. I can't imagine an elderly person or someone with arthritis trying to use this pen."
