Is it right to take oral antidiabetic drugs like metformin if you are taking lantus?
Lantus is a insulin injection & is used to lower blood sugar levels. Metformin is tablet medication which is also used to lower blood sugar levels. Taking Lantus & Metformin in conjunction should be done hesitantly & with your Diabetic Doctors approval as these two medications together may cause too low blood sugar (Hypoglycemia). Those who take Metformin & Insulin, usually separate those two meds by about 5 or 6 hours. I take Metformin & Byetta with morning and evening meals and Insulin at bedtime. I am Type 2.
