? Transition to 1x/day Lantus shot - unrealistic?

[BB32205]

My furbutt and I have recently transitioned from Prozinc 2x/day to Lantus 2x/day.

For honorable and not-selfish reasons (i.e., ones I don't wish to debate here, or start a flame-war), I'm wondering if once-a-day Lantus (or similars) regimens are even a thing, let alone something to try to eventually work towards.

Anyone have experience with this?

All the literature states it's to be dosed 2x a day 12 hours apart. I've not seen a cat here yet on once a day dosing. Will tag a few people @tiffmaxee @Bandit's Mom @Bron and Sheba (GA) @Wendy&Neko @Sienne and Gabby (GA)

The only time I've seen success with once a day dosing of Lantus is when people get to really tiny doses and their cat is almost in remission, but just needs a tiny bit more insulin support. Otherwise the insulin does not last much more than 12 hours and your cat ends up in high numbers 24 hours later.
