May I ask how big a dose of Lantus you take and how long you have had diabetes?
I take 16 units before bed, switched from Lantus to Levemir. I changed due to getting NovoPen4 with pen fills and wanted to have the same pen and pen fills. As I use NovoRapid during day the same manufacture for longtime insulin is Levemir. Levemir is also weight neutral, larger doses of Lantus may get the body to add a little more fat.
The one thing I noticed is that I had to take a couple of units more of Levemir then Lantus. Lantus was more stable and potent then Levemir in my opinion in the beginning. Now that I've used Levemir a couple of months I've made the adaptations to when I take it and how, and now use the same amount of Levemir as I did Lantus.
