Lantus will be "too expensive for you". I
This was from one of our members whose cat was on lantus which is very expensive in the US
Basaglar has worked wonderfully, we were using Lantus and when we switched there wasn't even a blip. Hendrick did not seem to notice at all.

The 5 pens will last about a year
Basaglar is also Insulin Glargine, it acts the same way.
Here is a saving card for basaglar for 5 pens

I see some members will call CVS, Rite Aid, Costco to get the price for 5 pens
If you switch you will need U-100 syringes with half unit markings
We use the syringes with pens because with the pens you can only change the dose by full units so we use syringes with half unit markings
You just stick the syringe in the rubber stopper on the pen and draw out the insulin from there
Call some supermarket pharmacy's too
If the Alpha Trak strips become too expensive for you most of us use human meter ,the text strips are so much cheaper ,if you live in the US. Our numbers are based on human meters anyway
In case you ever want to switch and have a Walmart by you or you can order them on line
You can buy The Relion Premier Classic for 9 dollars
17.88 for 100 tests strips
