Mitten Is Starting Lantus

I emptied my last vial of U insulin this morning (Expired in Jan 07 and opened Dec 08). So now she gets her first dose of Lantus tonight. I plan to start at about 0.3 units since she no get between 0.1 and 0.4 units of U. For Mitten U worked well and was relatively inexpensive. I think I paid $34 for the last 10 ml vial.

 

I hope that Lantus works well for her, Larry.

Sorry to see that you have to change Larry. Best of luck to you and Mittens on the Lantus.

 

You and I, or Thomas and Mittens are in the same boat. I was using expired in 07 U as well, and switched him over to Levemir in February. I though, still have an unopened vial of U in the fridge as backup, but the Levemir seems to be doing the trick. He has gained back a bit of weight. And I can't believe that I used to switch his vials every 6 weeks or so, because once they stopped making it, as you know, they seemed to stretch and last forever.
Good Luck with the switch.
