Hi everyone, I'm sure there is someone here who will be able to explain how a Lantus dose can work when it is split. I'm pretty sure I'm being a bit thick about this but I just can't seem to get my head around how this works. I currently take 1 injection of Lantus daily (20 units), however I have the feeling that for the last 12 or so hours it is not doing its job and so have been advised to split my dose into 2 separate 10unit injections, 12 hours apart. What I can't seem to get my head around though is how can 10 units of Lantus do the same as 20 units of Lantus over a 12 hour period. I am really reluctant to try this until I can understand in my daft brain how this works. Many thanks in anticipation to anyone e you can explain this to me xxxx
