Proximity to admin: Since lantus (insulin glargine) is a long acting insulin analog with onset of action starting about 1 hr after administration, it is possible to have an effect, but this would be unusual since one of its benefits is the lack of a peak. Therefore, it is advisable to carefully monitor his glucose level before and each hour after and discuss with your PCP. There are reports of low glucose levels and must be ruled out.
