I have been using Lantus for about 5 years now. About 15 units a day, split between morning and before-bed shots. But I also have to inject 8 units of Actrapid (Regular) to help cover higher basal requirements in the morning. The consistency of Lantus is good, but the lack of a peak is a mixed blessing. It means that Lantus is not very flexible and does not handle variation in the basal profile very well.
