How it works
The primary activity of insulin glargine is the regulation of glucose metabolism. It inhibits hepatic glucose production and lowers blood glucose level by enhancing peripheral glucose uptake especially by skeletal muscle and fat. It also inhibits lipolysis in the adipocyte, inhibits proteolysis and enhances protein synthesis
Lantus Injection Usage And Safety
Dosage
Insulin glargine
Side Effects
Very Common: Hypoglycemia is the most frequently occurring undesirable effect of insulin therapy that a patient with diabetes may suffer. Common: Lipohypertrophy, injection site reactions such as redness,pain, itching, swelling or inflammation. Uncommon: Lipoatrophy.

Lantus Injection Warnings
Warning 1
In case of insufficient glucose control or a tendency to hyperglycaemic or hypoglycaemic episodes, the patient's adherence to the prescribed treatment regimen, injection sites, proper injection technique and all other relevant factors must be reviewed before the consideration of dose adjustment.
Warning 2
Insulin requirements may be altered during illness or emotional disturbance, these situations may necessitate intensified metabolic monitoring and possibly, further special measures (e.g., dose adjustment, urine tests for ketones).
Warning 3
As with all insulins, the time course of insulin glargine action may vary in different individuals or at different times in the same individual and the rate of absorption are dependent on blood supply, temperature and physical activity. All factors increasing such risk require particularly close monitoring and may necessitate dose adjustment.
