My little girl doesnt have CFRD but shes a type 1 Diabetic and when she was On lantus (before pump) we at first gave it to her at night and then we changed it to the AM because she would bottem out at night.

I don't take Lantus anymore - I am now on the pump - but when I did I gave it both morning and night.

I started using it in the AM but was having highs every morning before giving the med. Then I switched to evenings and was getting high in the evenings before use. my doc tried increasing the dose but I kept bottoming out with higher doses - SO he split the dose I originally had so I was giving half of the dose in the AM and half in the PM - like it was a 12 hr insulin instead of 24 hr. It was the only thing that worked at keeping my blood sugars under control.

Take Care,
Lindsey

I take mine in the evening.

But, my understanding is that it doesn't matter WHEN you take it, as long as it's at the same time everyday, whether morning, afternoon or evening.

Someone correct me if I'm wrong. I know some are timed as to when your natural blood sugars (if you weren't diabetic) would be higher, but I don't think that is true with the Lantus, since it's a "background" insulin.

They say that it doesnt matter when you take your lantus but the most problems people have with lantus is that at sometimes of day you may requir more or less of a base line insulin......thats why we changed to the pump
