Lantus For Type Ii Diabetes Posted: 01-12-06 14:23pm
Does anyone know what percent of type ii
diabetes patients are on lantus (insulin
glargine)? I'm researching this for a
project.

Lantus is so new - we weren't forced to
use lantus
until lente was taken off the market last
oct.
.
I was taking 15 units of lente @ 600am
and 19 units of lente @1000pm
.
But now take 11 units of lantus @600am
and 16 units of lantus @ 800pm
.
Lantus lasts a bit longer than lente, and
is a bit
stronger. I (personally) think its
potency is not
so delicate as lente , and life-span lasts
longer.
.
I was a pump user 6 years - and can get
pretty
close to same blood sugars on dose / times
above
on lantus. I needed to 2-3 units of nph
@ 1000pm
(in different location than my lente shot,
to have
reasonable bloodsugars at 400-600am.
.
This is just my 2 cents, bill11931
