Is there a maximum dose for Lantus and other insulins
January 2009
Is there a maximum dose for Lantus and other insulins?
No. There is no ceiling dose for insulin...but there are diminishing returns at higher doses.
When insulin requirements creep over 100 units per day, revisit your efforts to reduce insulin resistance...exercise, reduce carbs, and add metformin if appropriate.
