If taking b.i.d. what time should I take it. ## B.I.D. means Bis in Die, latin for twice in a day, so you should take it every 12 hours. There would no specific time to start the med, you should pick a time convenient for you that will help you remember to take it, for instance, if you arise for to get ready for work at 7am, you could take it then, then take the next dose at 7pm when you know you will still be awake to take it. ## Actually with diabetes medications such is this it might be advisable to take the first dose with breakfast and the last dose with supper. Like zippysgoddess said though...12 hours apart. One can get terrible stomach pain if not taken with food. I know, I am a diabetic but have moved onto insulin. The best thing for me. ## Diabetics, especially on medications ...

Type II diabetes med. ## I posted 1st mention of this med on this site. I've found nothing(!?) much about it, except mention on a Larry King broadcast. ## Sorry, I wish I could help, but I cannot find any information on it either. Which leads me to believe it is probably not approved and released to the public yet, I did see it mentioned in a magazine article recently that was talking about new diabetes meds, but most of those they mentioned had not been approved for final release yet, and since it does not come up under a search on any of my medical websites or even in a general google search, that probably means it is still in the research and trials phase, or awaiting FDA approval. ## It's spelled januvia.. try a google search on that, there's more info out there. It is n...

what are the symtoms after an overdose of lantis my mom had 6 life threatining low of 20 or less in 4 days rushed to hospital 2 times doctors not absolutly sure what caused lows but to much lantis is suspected what do you think? ## It is very hard to say, since none of us are doctors and do not know your mother's medical history, nor what other drugs she was taking. The Lantus may have caused it, even without an overdose, if she was very sensitive to it, on the other hand, it could have been caused by her not eating properly, being sick or many other possibilities. ## I usually take 23 units of lantis at night. I think I just gave myself double the dose. Should I go to the E.R.? Also, I take humalog throughout the day.
