[QUOTE="fergus, post: 112790, member: 6150"] Hi squirrel, In my time I've used porcine, Lantus and at the moment Levemir. In my experience I've found no difference between them, although others clearly have. What I would say is that neither Lantus nor Levemir is guaranteed to last 24 hours. Levemir for example can last for as little as 18 hours in some people and there seems to be considerable variance in its activity period from person to person. For what it's worth, I met NovoNordisk's UK CEO at a function over a year ago. I asked him whether he thought it should be prescribed as a once daily basal dose and his answer was no, better coverage is possible for all users if they split their doses. The same is very probably true of Lantus and I found it much more controllable if split into separate doses. All the best, fergus [/QUOTE]
