[QUOTE="scotteric, post: 2152506, member: 453103"] It's not that the other insulins can't, but more that with Lantus you are generally taking much larger doses than with rapid-acting insulin and they aren't being taken for food, so if you inject into blood there is nothing to prolong the absorption and it will act just like you had injected NovoRapid or Regular/Actrapid into blood. You can try Levemir or Tresiba instead which are much safer options. These basal insulins bond with the albumin in your blood, so they won't drop you low even if injected straight into blood.
