They are long slow curves. Trial and error. Start small and work your way up.
Lantus (Insulin Glargine [rDNA origin] Inj) clinical pharmacology - prescription drugs and medications at RxList Levemir (Insulin Detemir) clinical pharmacology - prescription drugs and medications at RxList Quote:

I know my body doesn't follow such curves. I go up, down, up, and down. Hypos and hypers tend to follow. It takes lots of controlled basal testing to develop your pattern. Monitor the middle of YOUR nights and late afternoons. If you can wake in YOUR morning with good BGs and not go hypo while sleeping, it'll be a great choice.
Good luck.
