Optimal timing of injection of once‐daily insulin glargine in people with Type 1 diabetes using insulin lispro at meal‐times

Abstract

Blood glucose levels rise around the time of injection of insulin glargine whether given at lunch-time, dinner-time or bed-time. Bed-time injection leads to hyperglycaemia in the early part of the night which is improved by giving insulin glargine at lunch-time or dinner-time.
