Is Irregular Usage Of Lantus Safe?
I work as an RN in LTC, some nurses are holding the Lantus if the patient decides not to eat of if his blood sugar is 75 -100 but asymptomatic or if he does not want to eat....I understand it should be given anyway unless hypoglycemic episode is present. Wondering is this is correct? Thank you YYYY@YYYY
