No problem!

I'm taking Lantas glargine once a day after dinner 10 units on my thighs . My thighs seem to swell . Why is that so?..... I'm kharina Barrett from Calcutta , West Bengal, India.

[@NurseRyan]

Swelling and weight gain is a listed side effect of Lantus, however, I would definitely recommend speaking to your primary healthcare provider or pharmacist about the swelling. They may have follow-up questions/assessments, and recommendations for you. Hope that helps!

[@migdaliatorres8968]

Is insulin glargine the same as Tresiba?

[@NurseRyan]

Insulin Glargine is a long-acting insulin, while Insulin Degludec (Tresiba) is sometimes considered an ultra-long-acting insulin. They are similar in ways but are still different types of insulin with different durations of effect. Hope that helps!
