  • Pharmacology
  • Clinical Case Study

Background:

  • Insulin glargine (Lantus) is a long-acting basal insulin.
  • Limited data exists on Lantus overdose management.
  • Long-acting insulin overdoses present unique challenges compared to rapid-acting insulins.

Observation:

  • A 37-year-old male with diabetes intentionally overdosed on insulin glargine.
  • The patient presented with severe, refractory hypoglycemia.

Findings:

  • Management involved aggressive glucose administration (oral, IV dextrose, central line dextrose).
  • Psychiatric evaluation was crucial for suicide attempt assessment.

Implications:

  • Overdoses of long-acting insulins present unique management challenges.
