Thread: lantus or levemir SLIN

And I know several others who have used Lantus as well and can also vouch that it does in fact peak. So sure you’re stating facts empirically speaking. But real life doesn’t fit in the boxes drawn for it and sometimes anecdotal evidence is way more important. This being one of those instances.

So I’m not going to argue with you. I’m giving you facts based off real life experiment which aren’t really disputable

We'll said and true. I'm type 2 diabetic and I've crashed from Log and Levimir. I even take it farther by saying from personal experience, lantus and Levimir crash worse cause of the time frame. Have to make sure you have it covered well in advance.

But yeah, OP, I have some and a lot of Log. But til you find some, spread the Log out in smaller doses. Metphormin helps too and the lower the bodyfat, better it works.

Thanks for coming in LT. I have a friend whose diabetic and said the same thing. She even goes as far to say it isn’t 20-24 hours active but more like 16-18 at most for Lantus or levimir.

It’s important to not become a robot and just take everything by the book as gospel. It’s instances like these where real life experiences are much more vital on how to approach and apply protocols

Never did I say it had a true peak. I said it has a peak that’s is noticeable. And one time it actually had a pretty serious peak that I felt some hypo symptoms. So just because you haven’t felt that or respond differently doesn’t mean another hasn’t felt otherwise. As you know in this game it’s not a one size fits all so just because you respond a certain way does not mean everyone does the same my friend
