[QUOTE="fergus, post: 20271, member: 6150"] Lantus is a basal insulin, designed to replicate the background levels of insulin found in non-diabetics. It is absolutely not meant to cover the blood sugar spikes caused by the intake of food. This guy is skinny because he is insulin deficient - any human or animal with insufficient insulin will be skinny regardless of how much food they eat. If he is drinking coke and eating cakes, he is either fighting impending hpoglycemia from huge Lantus doses, or suffering huge blood glucose highs. Probably both. He needs to get with the programme before disaster strikes. In type 1 diabetes, Lantus needs to be paired with a bolus insulin such as Humalog or Humulin which covers mealtime needs. I'm seriously worried for this guy. All the best, fergus [/QUOTE]
