lantus u-100 insulin 10ml

My bottle of Humolag has 10ml--which means there are 500 units of insulin in the bottle. 1ml=100 units of insulin. This is written on the bottle, maybe if you take a good look at the bottle it could help. I am a little unclear as to why you don't know amount of insulin per day, so I am not sure if I answered your question.

advise him to have insulin injection .10ml actrapid 3x before meal and .10ml lantus before bedtime. But now we have observe that his blood glucose drop down, so we reduced insulin into 0.5ml, and still his blood glucose drop into 118-140, now we are confused if he still needed the insulin or we have to totally stop it. Hope anyone can give us advised. thanks and more power!

I just started on Lantus and Humalog and my blood sugars seem to keep going up, I take 30 U at night Lantus and I take Humalog 10 before meals if my bs is 180 or higher, does this sound right, I was diagnosed a Type 2 about 6 years ago, but the Glipizide and Metformin I was taking has been stopped, but my fasting bs has been 270 or higher any suggestions I know control my diet I get that, I also weigh 239 my Dr's say to loose weight, and I am going to try.

This is his fourth day on Lantus. He is doing fine but I am having problems trusting the Lantus - when his b/s drops below 100, I want to give him a can of apple juice, and of course that causes a moderate high. Also, he is not interested in stopping to eat as many snacks and meals because he does not have to 'feed' the NPH. Are these common problems in families starting on Lantus? It's as if my son and I are not making the most of this honeymoon period of a good insulin.

For many patients, as long as you are checking your blood sugar levels, this is fine. But your doctor should guide you in this. Please let us know what you think and how you are doing.

Does anyone know a formula for amount of Lantus needed for a basal dose vs how many units fast-acting you take per carb? I have major swings. Yesterday was told by a nurse that the Lantus I take is really low compared to amount of Humalog I take, but she never told me HOW much she thought I should be taking. I take 1.5 u Humalog per carb for all meals (for last 3 weeks - has changed many times). I'm supposed to take 11 u Lantus in am. My morning BS is usually 300-500.

If you say that for every food consumed, the insulin dosed never seems like enough, you should look at increasing the fast acting insulin, as the carb ratios are likely too low. Correcting that ratio would also likely lower the amount of Lantus taken as well.

The basal/bolus regimen of a long acting insulin (Lantus) and a short-acting insulin before meals is the absolute best way to treat your high blood sugar. You are doing better, but your blood sugar is still much too high and you are at risk for complications. Why do you feel so negative about insulin? The basal/bolus system mimics what non-diabetics bodies do naturally: a small amount of background insulin 24/7 and then a burst of bolus insulin for your meals. It is certainly what you need.

I am using Novolog 3 times and Lantus 1 time. I usually have a dinner 7:00PM, BS is raging from 110 to 160 at 10:00PM, 100-120 at 2:00AM, 130-150 at 7:00AM just before breakfast. What is the reason morning BS so high ? If it is a little bit high, I understand the fact that due to some hormon, it seems bit high. How should I adjust the insulin amount ?

is , is there any problem with giving him those 2 too close together and if his bs still seems up after a insulin shot and lantus, do u just keep giving more until his bs goes down? and my son loves to eat and doesn't ever seem to want to take a break so its really hard to manage giving him insulin for every little thing he puts in his body, any suggestings would be great and i am trying all the no carb snacks.

Lantus is very slow-acting and really rarely causes severe hypoglycemia, in my experience, for warning symptoms occur long before it gets severe. However, if the warning symptoms are not listened to, I have personally noticed that the hypoglycemia that eventually happens makes me feel worse than some of the quick-acting insulins do.

The currently accepted treatment of choice is a basal (long-acting) insulin like Lantus once or twice a day and a bolus or rapid acting insulin before meals. A fixed dose of bolus like you describe is not as good as developing a carb ratio. You need to take the correct insulin dose each meal to cover what you eat (unless you want to eat the same thing every meal!).

I will have mid- to late-afternoon lows if I let the bottle of insulin get old. Lantus works by crystallizing after injection and the crystals slowly release all day. But in small print in the paperwork that comes with a bottle of Lantus, there is the warning that it should be replaced every 30 days. Unlike other insulins, that work the same until we use them up, the Lantus insulin does seem to lose its 24-hour release capability after about a month.

I notice that eversince my sugar levels have been in a ok range, ,my weight has increased by 4 lbs. Does insulin make u gain weight even if you eat healthy???I was thinking of starting to take lantus in the morning....

About a month ago, my doctor changed my long acting insulin from Novolin NPH to Lantus. This completely threw me off and I ended up being woken up by paramedics 3 times in 1 week. My blood sugar would be normal before bed and then by morning it had gone to 1.8. When I would eat a snack before bed to keep my blood sugar from dropping, I would go high - 13.0-15.0 on average. My doctor has now switched me back to my Novolin NPH and I am still having a hard time getting back on track.

I have been on lantus since about 2003, and in 2007 I was diagnosed with breast cancer. I ve just been reading how lantus may cause cancer . im afraid the lantus may have caused this. did anyone else have anything like this happen? as well im type1 diabetic and my bloodsugers are really up and down all the time and i take a split dose of lantus. my suger will drop and stay down all day or for hours!

as I never heard of these problems with Lantus. Lantus is a 24 hour basal insulin that starts to work in an hour after injected and lasts most of the day without peaking. Also, I have never heard of a Lantus pen but have a call into our local rep to ask. My teenage son has Type 1 diabetes and there is never a dull moment with diabetes, is there.

Diabetes is a disease where the body does not proses carbohydrates properly resulting in high blood sugar (BG). lantus is a background insulin, lasts about 24 hours. lantus just keeps you idling along. When you eat carbs it raises BG as your body digests the food. so you need insulin to lower your BG the same way that food raises BG. When you eat or when your BG is too high you need to take insulin that is faster acting than Lantus.

I tried adjusting the amount, almost up to 50 a day, no change. Yesterday he suggested that I inject Lantus U-100 twice a day. I am getting super frustrated with this whole deal. Any suggestions would greatly be appreciated.

I have been using insulin pens for years. And they are so much more convenient. I have just switched fom NPH to Lantus. And the Lantus pen has been withdrawn from the market. But the cartridges fit perfectly in a Humalog pen.

My tests indicate to Drs. I am or am becoming type 1 and concerned with weight loss so placed on insulin. Lantus -5 units. Sugars are controlled and A1c in the 6'es. The big problem is that I am basically foggyheaded all the time upon awakening. Unclear, drunk feeling although not like I am going to fall down. they have checked adrenal glands, thyroid,etc. there seems to be no pattern with sugar levels. Could it be the suger levels, or insulin itself?? Or something else.
