[QUOTE="endocrinegremlin, post: 1412926, member: 196900"] I took lantus for years when it was the best thing available to me. I would say do NOT simply move your insulin from evening to night without help from some sort of consultant. That would leave you in a gap where either you could have more or less insulin on board than you should. Nurses are available over the phone. I would get in touch with your local hospital and try to be more assertive in regards to an appointment. I would also hassle your GP's office to see if they can provide some sort of help. Changing the timing of your lantus may help but it could also be the dose. Some take lantus twice a day to balance their levels. To answer another questions anyone can outgrow any insulin and it has nothing to do with age but just our bodies changing, our diabetes changing. There are many other insulins out there that can work in the background but if you are thinking such a radical change as night to morning doses I would not simply rely on the forum to help. Our experience makes us good at our diabetes but not yours. [/QUOTE]
