All kinds of meds fail or work wonderfully. Our experiences wihtthem are different than in a controlled study.
For me, Glucotrol failed after two years miserably. Causing me to go into pancareatic exhaustion/failure. Maybe they want that to happen,. Butafter going through all orals with teh esception of two, theer is a high failuire rate of continued use after two years to 5 years. With the ineveitable need ofr insulin to be broached.

MAny also makeup their own vitamin, pill regimines. Lets see what we are doing out there..........

I guess its the same way with anything else that you take or use on and everyday basis. You have to figure out what works.

I ahve noticed pain killer sthatw ork teh same way. I have taken regular Tylenol for everything and then all of a sudden it stopped working and I am back regular aspirin.
Aleve stillw orks well after all these years.
BUt I am also finding I am liking the LAntus a little bit less than I did originally. I am finding more fo aneed for bolus even though my diet is in check.
