Switching from lantus to prozinc

[Buddysbuddy]

I'm switching from lantus to prozinc and would like to know what the recommended starting dosage is. I have the conversion chart and know prozinc is 2.5 times stronger than lantus with U-40 vs U-100. He is currently on lantus 1.25 units U-100 2xs/day.

Normally we'd suggest lowering the dose a little, maybe one unit? So 2.5 on the U100 syringes. (you are sure that the ProZinc is U40 not 100U BCP ProZinc.)

Have you seen the protocol we put together for ProZinc?
