[Diabetes-talk] Lantis More Than Once-A-Day?

[Everett Gavel]

Hi All,

Someone mentioned something to me this afternoon, which 
I hadn't heard of as a possibility before.  This woman 
said her husband was taking Lantis twice a day and it 
really helped his blood sugar levels, as opposed to 
when he was taking it once a day.  He doesn't take it 
at all now, since he got a kidney/pancreas transplant a 
couple years ago.  But I'm taking Lantis and Humalog 
right now.  Lantis once a day, Humalog 2 or 3 times. 
Does anyone know about this situation with Lantis?  My 
doc, who is a general practitioner and not a 
specialist, said Lantis was a once-a-day, 24-hour 
insulin.  So if I was to possibly start taking it 
twice, I assume for now I'd take less each time?  No 
worries.  I won't do anything without bringing it to 
the doc first. I'm just curious.  ;-)

Thanks for any feedback.


Strive On,
Everett
