Diabetes, Type 2
"I have been on Lantus for over 3 weeks and I feel I HAVE less control of my sugar levels.  I take 22 units at bedtime, and it isnt lowering my levels like it should.  Per doctor, I cannot take regular insulin with it as the Lantus is a 24 hr dose. So if my level spikes to sway 435, I can&#039;t take a shot of regular insulin to bring it down, I have to ride it out till bedtime when I can take another does of Lantus.  I would rather take regular insulin every 6 hrs than do the Lantus, as It gives me more control of the dose I need for my sugar levels."
