Lantus (insulin glargine)
Those who have diabetes or know someone suffering from this condition are aware of how hard it can be to manage it. It may not seem like it, but being careful with everything you eat to keep your blood sugar low is a real nuisance.
Fortunately, people with diabetes can use Lantus, a long-acting insulin, to control their blood sugar levels by turning excess sugar into energy or storing it in muscles and fat for later use. Needless to say, it has changed the lives of thousands of individuals!
