| When I did Lantus, it was 32-ish U/day. Each U drops me 35 mg/dL, or covers 15 g. To correct a double dose, I would have needed to eat 480 g of CHO during the following 24 hours.
What's nasty is when you run a needle of Lantus too deep and hit muscle. It took me four hours to get above 70; the next day, I couldn't seem to get below 150.
