I've never heard of the one unit per hour standard...I thought it was based on weight and sensitivity. Everyone is different. A while back someone posted a "formula" that rang pretty true for my weight...sorry, I don't remember who posted it...Regardless, Lantus will always be shifting a little. I just increased mine this morning a couple of units upward...after a long spell of decreased...we are always changing on the bolus side. But, you will work out the "range" very soon. Don't assume you are "resistant" until you give it a chance. Docs always start you out (hopefully) on the low side...so I'm sure you will need to slide upwards. Just take it slow so you don't have a big problem.
