That is not actually true for everyone. The big problem with Lantus (and Levemir) is it is a flat insulin. Many doctors and much literature will say that's what we need, but practice tells us that this is not the case. Nobody is perfectly flat and about 35% of us have wide swings in our daily basal needs. For us, pumping is the best way to get under control.
There are techniques to match your humpy basals with Lantus, but it involves a lot of work.
