[QUOTE="snowleopard, post: 1263531, member: 303754"] Another aspect of using Lantus is the level over the 24 hour period. My DSN and lots of the literature tell you that Lantus gives a steady level for 24 hours then fades away. This is simply not true. An hour or two after injecting, the level is up to double the so-called steady level. After 24 hours, it is still 50% of the steady level. When you inject the next day's dose, the peak sits on top of that residue making for an even higher level. I adjust for that by making my breakfast bolus 1 unit per 15g carbs but 1:9 at supper time. See the dotted line in this graph: [IMG]https://encrypted-tbn1.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcQadOcIhCOdSAHN2loEav9wnuRd1fl6GUSzzCT9MmST8gsSgg1g[/IMG] I take Lantus in the morning and adjusting my intake and bolus enable me to counter the uneven levels. Does anyone take Lantus before bed and do you get low overnight? And has anyone tried splitting it into 2 doses? [/QUOTE]
