I feel safer now but I still need help from members! How long will my Lantus stay now? UPDATE: Sugar 10.1

24 hours

Long Acting Insulins. Though often thought of as being 24 hour insulins, Lantus and Levemir are actually 18 to 26 hour insulins. At least a third of all users do not get a full 24 hours of action from these insulins.
