[QUOTE="Fairygodmother, post: 1769261, member: 68789"] I agree with [USER=185674]@Celsus[/USER]. Lantus is a basal insulin. A basal deals with the body’s needs for energy so that all organs can function throughout each 24 hour period. It’s the base that’s required for energy to be transferred to everything we need to keep functioning. Bolus insulin is required to deal with carb that we eat and either store it or use it. I used Lantus for approximately 25 years and if my basal dose was correct then I knew that it would provide a base and at no time did I think that it would cover carb injested. There were insulins once that peaked at pre-set times for food but they’ve not been available for a few decades. Maybe your DSN was still caught up in the thinking that applied then. [/QUOTE]
