Hi @A DiabetesTeam Member,
Excerpts
-------------------------
Insulin glargine: Lantus, Basaglar, and Toujeo all contain insulin glargine and last for at least 24 hours. Toujeo lasts the longest (up to 36 hours). There are also several Lantus biosimilars that have been approved. These include Semglee (insulin glargine-yfgn) and Rezvoglar (insulin glargine-aglr).
--------------------------
There are many different choices for insulins. You and your doctors can discuss it and come up with the best for you.

There are quick acting insulins, long acting insulins, blends of both, like 70/30 and 50/50. There are also analog insulins.

Good luck.
