If I wake up and eat breakfast, take my insulin for the meal and a hour later I'm not where I should be should I take more insulin or still wait for the previous insulin to kick in? how long does it usually take for the insulin to go to "work" and how long does lantus stay in your body? I take one shot of lantus in the morning but wondering if I should take another at night.

OK i suppose you know that Lantus is a long acting insulin? Try to inject around 20 mins before a meal when you bolus with fast acting, i'm on Novorapid and take Lantus once a day. If you have to inject a few shots to bring down your bg then i advise 1u should bring you down by 3points ( thats in UK measurements tho) retest after abt 15-20 mins
