A member asked:

I was recently switched from januvia (sitagliptin) to lantis insulin and almost immediately developed extremely hig blood pressure attacks as high as 257?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Not due to Lantus (insulin glargine): The sudden rise in BP should not occur with lantus (insulin glargine). Check w/your physician. By the way, you can continue januvia even while using Insulin -- they work well together.
