[QUOTE="Marie 2, post: 2171890, member: 475037"] Lantus can vary person to person on length of time it works, but it can vary day to day on the same person too, so that doesn't help. It does have a slight reputation for causing unexplained lows off and on. I used to use it and I was happy with it. Some people split dose it. The bolus doses will be a lot harder to figure out until you get your basal dose down. Plus then there's the honeymoon period. I did much better with a pump as my basal needs differ different times of the day as does my bolus carb ratio. In my case I have DP, dawn phenomenon and my am requirements are much higher on both. By afternoon my basal and bolus requirement drops and by night I take half the amount of insulin per carb. [/QUOTE]
