Glargin is a long acting insulin.

Detailed Answer:
Hi,

Thanks for your question.
Noted your concern.

Lantus contains insulin Glargin which is a long acting insulin.
It's action almost lasts up to 24 hours, which gives advantage of once a daily injection.
Also it rarely cause hypoglycemic.
As you have already taken 3 units out of your total daily dose of 9, I may advice to take 6 units at usual time in night today.

Try to follow your schedule as advised by your doctor.

Hope this helps you.
