Lantus

The Lantus lasts 4 hours?

No, the Lantus is a prolonged action insulin, it is put once a day and it is supposed to last 24 hours.

Lantus is basal insulin, not ultra -up.
Its duration as they have told you is approximately 24h/-

The Lantus does not arrive at 24 hours, the toujeo is the same type of insulin (glargine) and if it lasts 24 hours and is flatter

Lantus covers about 20 hours, so it puts reinforcement at 12 noon.
Levemir the same.
Toujeo and Tresiba are 24 hours, one dose a day

Hello good!!!I start with Lantus I don't know if today or tomorrow, they have prescribed it today.

When is it better to put it?In the morning, night ... I have been told that at the same time, I would make me better in the morning because I am going to work but now I catch on vacation and I find it hard to think about getting up early, if I put it later it already forces me to take it andLeave it in the fridge of work with heat Cordobes.What do you do?And to transport it if I make a 2-3 hours?Or if you put it on a few hours that you know you are going to be away from home because you have stayed to eat for example or dinner

@Nila you can start putting it at night, I did so.
Anyway, if you later prefer the morning or see that the control during the night, it is not good, you can change

Good @nila, I use Lantus in the morning (for 4 and a half years).During the week when I am not on vacation I put it at 7.30 and on weekends between 9.30 and 11.00 (according to when I wake up).My specialist told me that I did not have to get up early on vacation or on weekends so that it was the same time (you don't get up at 13.00 xD)

Once the Lantus does not need to put it in the fridge or anything.I carry it in a bag together with the humalog junior, meter needles ... in my bag.As for trips I have this Amazon bag if I have proven that it endures 6 hours of travel without problems

Lantus must always be at the same time, yes or yes.
Tresiba is more flexible

@Nila Pontela when you do well, but always at the same time.

You do not need to be in fridge the ball you are using.Now in summer we must not expose it at temperatures above 30 degrees.There are cold wallets that only need water to activate them and endure 5 or 6 days.Ice has already gone down !!Look online: Cold portfolio.

Brilliant.Thank you so much.If they have explained that the rest of the year it is not necessary to put it in a fridge but I live in Cordoba and now the 30 degrees will be almost the minimum of night.

I will look for the cold portfolio, I just want her for when I go on a trip in a few days.Thank you so much.

I have also told me that I must put it at the same time, but an exceptionally change a little and
I put it before or after anything happens either.But I will try to put it at the same time always, hence thinking the time better, because I do not want me to get caught for example in the street because I will not eat at home, or have to work or whatever.I think I will try at night and it is already sure that I will be and if I go for dinner then I will take it and ready.

Well, I put it before dinner, it is the time that is ,,, the fondes ceno at 19Slow and fast ske

And the one that clicks on the work to lunch I bring it in the side pocket of the pants all month and nothing happened to me

@Nila, if you see that at night it gives you hypos and when you download doses you arrive high to dinner, then it will make you better put it in the morning.

@Nila has that Lantus does not cover 24 hours, 20 at most

<Blockquote class = "quote" rel = "alberto_13"
It can cover 24 hours, according to the dose, even if it is fair.If you get in the morning you can upload the dose a bit and lengthen it, without giving hypos at night.
But Tresiba and Toujeo do guarantee more than 24 hours.

Yes, they told me that but as in pregnancy they leave Lantus, they have not put another time to not have to change it after

Well, in the end I have put it this morning at 9:45, I will take it to work when I return on vacation and that's it.Today 4 units, to see how it is doing, in three days I am correcting if I need more.At the moment I have gone out to take a walk, I had to have breakfast white bread that normal would be very high and thanks to walk and I suppose that some effect will have done very well.Before eating exactly the same as after breakfast, 120, so not so bad

Well bland, you see you and if you are staying at that levels, your endo sure gives you free pregnancy.
Regarding the time of putting it on, if you see that you are lazy to have to be taking it to work, you can always well at noon or at night change it.
It is the good thing to use only basal.
Type1 we always have to carry the fast on top.
Even so I will tell you that when I put myself at night Lantus and came out some weekend, I went with the two bowling in my bag and was never upset.
All the best

Yes, he told me that I had to wait for the issue of vitamins but he has not told me that now I do not stay, but he has put me in October for review, and the one that has served me this week has advanced me anotherBy the end of August, for when you return on vacation.

I have another question.Today I have put it in my thigh, blood has come out and I have left a red point and even a small bruise.This is always the case or that I have become bad?I have punctured today twice that the first when I started has hurt me and I have not been able but it has not been in the same place
