Whats a typical dose of Lantus insulin?
My 2 year old daughter was diagnosed with type 1 a few months ago, and she takes 4 units of Lantus every morning. She started out on a half unit, but it wasn’t long before she needed more. Also, I think there are different syringe sizes. My daughter uses a 3/10ths syringe. So 4 units for her may not be the same as for you. Everyone is different in their insulin needs … some people take their Lantus at different times, and some people take it twice per day. So try not to worry about it. If your fasting numbers climb than it may be time to up your Lantus again. We’re really lucky to have Lantus. It’s relatively new … her doctor told me there was no other insulin like it before it came along.
