Poll dates: August 5 - 12, 2001
Total Votes: 577Lantus® (insulin glargine) is a new, very long acting insulin. It has a remarkably flat action profile that lasts 24 hours, making it an excellent basal insulin. Of injection users who know about Lantus, over one-third have already switched their basal insulin to Lantus, and another 39% are considering it. Interest among pump users is considerably less, with 95% of pump users planning to stick with insulin pump therapy. One third of all people who responded were unfamiliar with Lantus, however.
