Switching to lantus tonight! Just wondering other peoples pro’s and cons? I’m nervous lol!
Hi,
I've used Lantus for years.. In some ways. It kinda works for me?
The pros for me? Can tweak dosage & will be effective the following day. (An anticipated hot heavy work load?)
I seem to be more insulin sensitive at the latter half of the day & evening. So as it tails off, either working or doing a gig. I can stay in a holding pattern twix 4.8 & 5.5mmol whilst physically active?
The cons for me, when it don't work. It shows. I would tend call it potentially unstable.
But a change of cartridge without fail puts it right for the following day. It can basically lose potency & you may find yourself possibly fixing with correction doses of fast acting?
Yeah, I tried talking my endo into a basal change. But he's right in some respect. A pre-emptive tweak for the following day may be more effective for my needs than something like Tresiba? (Which could be like steering a tanker?)
