A member asked:

What is the proper lantus (insulin glargine) dose for a 60 year old man with type i diabetes and when should it be taken ?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Totally individual: There is no one right dose of insulin for everyone. Lantus (insulin glargine) can be used once a day, or divided into two doses for larger amounts. I cannot guess what this particular person's dose should be.
