Lantus is the greatest thing since sliced bread (although sliced bread is best avoided if you need Lantus :) ). Lantus gives a great stable predictable base coverage. You will, of course, still need other agents, either injectable or by mouth, to ride out the curves of the day & meals.

I like Lantus, but I have to take it twice a day. My doctor says that it doesn't stay in my body for the full 24 hour period. So I take 10 in the morning and 25 at night.

I love lantus! It's helped my blood sugar control alot. Before using that insulin I had alot of issues with low blood sugars in the early morning hours, now I rarely have any low blood sugar problems.
The lantus website has alot of info to give as well.

I was on Lantus before I got on my pump & it worked very well for me

I LOVE IT!!! It has lowered my blood sugar, super convienant. I take 65 units at night and havenn't had to do any shots during the day since I started.

I used it before I started pumping. It worked pretty well. It's definitely better than the other long acting insulins, like NPH.

My Dad takes it, and it's really doing good for him! It was highly recommended!
