If a patient needs to take >50 units of lantus (insulin glargine) at a time, is there any data that says it should be split into different sites or syringes? thank you.

Yes: The cut-off is probably 60u for uniformity of absorption.

I usually only: Split the dosage when it gets to over 100 units and requires two injections, i don't have any patients in my practice requiring bid dosing.
