Lantus Dosing Wisdom
Started this discussion. Last reply by latvianchick Nov 8, 2010. 21 Replies 0 Likes
Hey folks, I'm pretty sure this topic has been covered to death but what can I say, I love to hear myself talk. Anyway, I'm considering switching from twice daily NPH injections to Lantus. I tried…Continue

Jeff commented on Phishery's group 'Dr. Bernstein Diabetes Solution Group'"Here's a post from Chris Masterjohn with a different spin on hyperinsulinemia causes: Link->. I'm not calling it gospel but it's some good food for thought."
Jeff commented on Cheryl (aka - Superfox)'s group 'Primal/Paleo for Diabetes'"Hey folks, if you didn't catch it, Dr. Cordain is starting a study of autoimmune diseases and needs those that have them and are following the paleo diet to participate:

latvianchick replied to Jeff's discussion 'Lantus Dosing Wisdom'"Yes it is available though I do not know too much about the states and your way of dealing with things. You could try enquiries@iddtinternational.org. They are the people I got into contact with and they are far more supportive that the bigger…"
Jeff replied to Jeff's discussion 'Lantus Dosing Wisdom'"Actually I would be interested in exploring pork insulin, I used to take it way back when. It would have been not long after diagnosis, I don't really remember much from that time but I think my numbers were chaotic and my doctor concluded that…"
latvianchick replied to Jeff's discussion 'Lantus Dosing Wisdom'"I am not a doctor, or a nurse but I have had desparately awful times with Lantus!
Unless you are a Muslim or Jew, have you ever considered Pork Insulin? It is what was used before all these new "super" "insulins" came out and…"
Gerri replied to Jeff's discussion 'Lantus Dosing Wisdom'"A definite improvement over NPH! Levemir is a big improvement over Lantus. Both take about 2 hours to start working."
kiva replied to Jeff's discussion 'Lantus Dosing Wisdom'"The insulin itself is actually in an acidic solution (that explains the "burn" a lot of people experience after an injection). In the presence of this acid the insulin is in solution meaning the insulin is in a free state equally…"
Gerri replied to Jeff's discussion 'Lantus Dosing Wisdom'"Lantus doesn't release as needed. Would be great if any injected insulin worked this way & the theory behind smart insulin. Lantus causes lows for many because it also doesn't work at a level/stable rate, which is the role of basal."
Jeff replied to Jeff's discussion 'Lantus Dosing Wisdom'"Thanks Kiva! I find it's very helpful to know how these things are supposed to work in theory even if that doesn't materialize. Sounds like Lantus is more of a true basal insulin, so however much is required to keep the liver in check…"
Anthony Holko replied to Jeff's discussion 'Lantus Dosing Wisdom'"2 X 10 = 20 X 80% = 16 no? Most people find the are better off with the DD of lantus split in 2 so it is hard to see what you will gain except pay more. I take two 25 shots of 25 at 6 am and 6 pm. I would have to take my NPH of 8 shots every 4 hours…"
kiva replied to Jeff's discussion 'Lantus Dosing Wisdom'"So it seems, if you look at the action graph of Lantus, a 24 hour straight line, that is based on the notion that some of it will release sooner, and the rest later. I'm wondering if you were to take a single unit of Lantus, what would that…"
