Message: <blockquote data-quote="kitedoc" data-source="post: 1834021" data-attributes="member: 468714">I am afraid 'should' is a restrictive and misleading word to use.What is more: On the drug company site of the makers of Lantus it says under "Getting the dose right for you" : That your doctor will base your dose on: your blood sugar test results, your blood sugar goal number  and your needs.  And in full prescribing information for Lantus (products.sanofi.us)  Dose and Administration : depends on your metabolic needs, your blood glucose monitoring, glycemic control and the type of diabetes prior to administration of insulin.  That all suggests a wide possible variation in doses and possible ratios of total daily insulin dose.   I could not could not find the statement you quoted. Perhaps you would be so kind as to direct me to it. In over 51 years of being on insulin I have never heard of a doctor saying that a definite, proscribed ratio of long to short acting insulin applies to every diabetic prescribed such insulins. I would be interested if any one has.</blockquote>
