[QUOTE="M80, post: 1359999, member: 348697"] Hi! I used Lantus for ten years, and now I have used Levermir for some years.What I found was challenging with Lantus, is that it felt like it is in the system so long, that any changes like lots of activity or being sick, hormonal stuff, anything that ment my basal could benefit from small adjustments, were not possible to do as the Lantus taken one day seemed to work too late to fit with what I had done or was doing.I insisted also on taking my Levemir only at night, because I wanted less risk of overlapping wrong if I forgot to take one dose, and I wanted to not have as many injections (just tired of them and had been using a pump that ment no injections) however, it did not work and my bs was high the last few hours before it was due. So...now I have just bitten the bullet and take two doses.It is fine as it means less fixing after and keeps it more steady.The morning dose is very low (3units) but still very essential.So short, I recommend two doses of Levemir instead of Lantus.Especially if you have days you go to the gym etc.Those days you might need less.
