I used to take Lantus split in the morning and evenings, until I switched to

the Cozmo pump. When I took all the Lantus in the am my daytime glucose

readings were always low and my pre-breakfast readings were high. After I

switched all seemed to level out. I was on Lantus for 4 years with out any side

effects or problems.

Hi,

My boyfriend was just switched to Lantus, and Novolog. He was told to take

25 units of Lantus at bedtime. Well he started taking it twice a day, because

it was not working very well just at night. Would he split that 25 units? Are

ya'll taking a similar amount? I only ask because he has been running with

very high blood sugar for a long time and I a not sugar if the doctor is

trying to wean him slowly down? I only ask cause he is fiddling with the amount

and I am concerned about him taking too much. Course he may be doing it just

right? I was looking for others experience. Last night he went very low, so I

am worried.

Thanks
