Lantus Solostar 100Iu/Ml Pre-Filled Pen Health Feed

At first I want to know your complete blood sugar level with hba1c with kidney function to answer.

The use of lantus can be combined with either a short acting or intermediate acting insulin depending upon the sugar values and its your doctor judgement to decide the dosage because short actings effects will last for three hours and intermediate effects will last for eight hours.

There's no fit for all insulins, both the types have different ways of working and controlling sugar levels.

If your sugar level is controlled when you take mixtard (morning 13u and night 15u) and actrapid 13u in noon with lantus 10u., you can do that and if needed make changes by consulting with a doctor or me in the site

Hello, Thanks for the query.
Both Insulins mentioned are same. Only difference is one has 40 units per ml in the vial. The other has 100 units per ml in the pen. So if you are taking 6 units with 40 u/ml one, then 6 units need to be taken with the pen. You will have to fix the dosage on the pen, it will deliver that quantity only. Thanks.
