Re: Re: To Louise - morning sugars

I was under the impression that Lantus had a basal rate of absorption

instead of the peaks and valleys of other insulins. So, if the rate was the

same over a 24 hour period, why would it make a difference to split the

doseages? Just curious as I am on Lantus and I tend to get afternoon lows,

altho, I feel that it is because I take too much oral medication in the am.

I am going to speak with my MD next week about this. But still curious

about the Lantus.
