What is lancet insulin?

Probably you want to talk about the Lantus insulin. This is designer insulin, which is less soluble. This gives peak less basal layer of the insulin for about 24 hours. Together with soluble insulin, it gives very good control of the blood glucose level. I am strongly against the use of such designer insulins. Such designer insulins are good for short term and bad for long term use. They will give rise to insulin resistance in long term use. Your immunity does not accept alteration of the amino acid sequence.You do not know about the other effects of such manipulation.
