Lantus is a long acting insulin, therefore, this must be your basal dosage. Honestly, I don't see the need for a pump. Generally pumps are utilized by people that are taking a short acting insulin. Since you obviously don't take a meal bolus, I don't see why you would consider being attached to an insulin pump, via infusion set, for 24 hours a day / 7 days a week, when you could just take one 38 unit shot a day and be done with it.

Please correct me if I am missing something.
