The best person to ask this is a pharmacist. Call your local pharmacy and ask to speak to the pharmacist, they will know and can tell you. Good luck.

Lantus (glargine) is a basal insulin. It will help maintain a basal level of blood glucose. Lantus is normally combined with a short term insulin such as humulog. Changing lantus levels alone will not help maintain insulin levels. Combining lantus and a short term insulin with blood testing is the only way to get long term control.

There is no maximum. Most people are started at 12 units at night, then tapered up 2 units every three days till the fasting bg is under 100.
