[QUOTE="Unjustified, post: 1350233, member: 47334"] Although Lantus was originally designed to be a 24-hour insulin (I did the human trials for it) I've found that most people, myself included, have a split dose morning and evening. The main point is that you take it at the same time each day, and if you do decide to take it with your evening meal, make sure you do not do both injections (basal and bolus) in the same spot. Take one in your stomach, one in your leg, or one on the left side, one on the right. One other major thing that I must mention, if you do decide to split your dosage, make sure you consult with your GP or DSN before making any changes. Good luck [/QUOTE]
