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

[Cory Jackson]

Hi,
Always check with the doctor but I have been told   that Lantis only lasts
about 18 hours after takeing it.
I tried splitting my dose and did not see much difference. I also take
humilog 3 times a day.
Regards,
Cory Jackson

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

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
