Lantus - Baseline Insulin (1 unit)

Confirm the rise is not from a recent meal, snack, sugary drink, stress, illness, or sensor variation; Lantus is long-acting baseline insulin and does not usually cause a rapid glucose rise by itself.

Take Lantus at the same time every day and use the prescribed injection technique, rotating sites and avoiding areas with lumps, scarring, or inflammation.

Review your glucose trend over several days rather than correcting a single small rise, unless your diabetes care plan instructs otherwise.

Avoid taking extra Lantus or making dose changes to correct a short-term rise without guidance from your diabetes clinician, as this can cause delayed low glucose.

If small rises occur consistently at the same time each day, record insulin timing, meals, activity, sleep, and glucose readings and discuss the pattern with your clinician; your baseline dose or timing may need review.

Seek prompt medical advice for persistent high readings, ketones, vomiting, or symptoms of significant hyperglycemia.
