I know you can restart an insulin pump 24 hours after a lantus shot, but can't remember when to give a lantus shot after being removed from a insulin pump?

Gary Scheiner says
Best to give the lantus shot IMMEDIATELY upon stopping use of the pump. It takes a few hours for Lantus to "ramp up" to a steady state in the bloodstream, and the pump basal will take a few hours to wear off. Delaying the lantus may result in a lapse in basal insulin coverage.
