Does Lantus Have A Peak?

Someone with a bit of experience regarding how to handle NovoRapid might be more flexible but again OP recently switched to this new insulin so give it some time for him to learn how NovoRapid would act on his body. It is supposed for Novorapid peak to suspend after 3 hours but surprisingly for me it did after 3h 45min. It was higher before the 3h 45min mark so assume I took a correction dose at 2h mark or 3h mark I would not know what to expect and what would happen, which dose is acting and which is not. Now that I know better, I know what to do next time, and what to expect.
 
Certainly I do not mean by running high like anything above 200 mg/dl as absolute maximum. Anyway, this limit seems to get lower for me down to 160s, still trial and error phase for me.
 
Peak also depends on dose - big doses have a later peak.

This applies for every insulin. Lower doses last shorter, peak harder and end faster. Opposite goes for bigger doses

Have you tried Levemir? What happened to trying Tresiba?

You're probably doing "meh" because of a single basal injection. It just doesn't suit the basal needs for most people.

It does actually apart from the <24h but I am still not 100% settled like before.
