Lantus SoloStar is a long acting insulin and can control your blood sugar levels for up to 24 hours.
You only need to inject it once daily.
It is available as a vial and prefilled pen.
It is approved for use in children and adults.
Studies that compared insulin glargine and NPH insulin-treated patients found that insulin glargine is as effective as NPH insulin in achieving glycemic control. In addition, there were fewer episodes of low blood sugar (hypoglycemia) with insulin glargine compared to the NPH insulin treatment groups.
Lantus SoloStar has to be injected under the skin.
It can cause low blood sugar (hypoglycemia).
You cannot mix it with other types of insulin in the same syringe.
