Hello There!
It's Nice to meet you.
I'm sorry to hear of your Father-in-laws condition. Yes, it is Very encouraging that his heart and kidneys are strong though.
Here is a Good article that explains the EDTA Chelation Therapy:
Questions and Answers About Chelation Therapy
That is not an unusual amount of Lantus Insulin. That amount is
usually indicated for an Adult who may be over-weight and has a
degree of Insulin Resistance and probably is a Type 2. Everyone
takes the amount that their system requires to help keep their
blood sugar down, along with exercise and healthy meals. Some
take it twice a day. I hope that it is working for him.
I hope this helps. And we wish your Father-in-law a successful
procedure. Feel free to post again.
