How many hours does Lantus last?
Lantus takes about 1.5 to 2 hours to start working, with its effects lasting for about 24 hours. This is why you usually only need to inject it once a day. Lantus helps manage your blood glucose levels throughout the day, even when you’re not eating. So, it’s sometimes called “background” or “basal” insulin. View original source
