Lantus is a long acting insulin that delivers an (almost) constant release of basal insulin for 20 to 24 hours. It comes in standard 10ml vials. It is generally injected in the buttocks just before bed.

	phoenix2258 March 8 at 10:43 pm My Rating My doctor switched me from Levemir to Lantus because of Levemir site redness and sores from allergic reactions. I currently take 40units of Lantus in the PM . I use the ole needle method. Haven't tried the pen yet. Though might soon. Pros I haven't had any reactions from it and have been taking it for a couple months now. I still am getting some high readings (between 250-350), but hoping it will go down some more soon (was in 400's). Cons Burns some if injected too quickly, but for the most part I see little to complain about using the Lantus so far.

	iwillcuinheaven March 5 at 11:40 am My Rating I am still on 30 units and it's not working for me even with the addition of fast acting insulin. Pros pre filled pen Cons doesn't seem to help
	kgb March 5 at 11:17 am My Rating I have been on Lantus for a few years. It has helped my body reduce the highs and the lows of the sugar control. I have to take cortisone from time to time, and it has helped me not have a meter reading of HIGH-always scared me. Now I do not have as much problems with that . I take 10 in the morning and 25 at night. Novalog in between Pros I love the ease of the pen. I have no injection site problem as I have seen others note in their comments. It works great for me, and gives me one less problem to think about. Cons None
	Danita1968 February 27 at 11:40 am My Rating My doctor switched me from Levemir to Lantus due to skin reaction at injection sites. I've been using Lantus for about 5 months now. Currently taking 32 units PM. Adjust based on AM fasting levels. Pros Easy dosing with dial; very few bubbles in pen Cons Burns if injected too fast
