The nurse is teaching a client with a new diagnosis of type 1 diabetes about insulin glargine (Lantus). Which of the following statements by the client indicates a need for further teaching?
Correct answer
D

Taking insulin glargine when blood sugar is high is incorrect, as it is a long-acting basal insulin for steady control, not for acute hyperglycemia. Options A, B, and C are correct: bedtime dosing is standard, it should not be mixed, and rotation prevents lipodystrophy.
