That Lantus dose looks high to me, especially to start. There was a thread about basal rates a while ago and most were between 14 and 24 U per day.
You are taking twice as much basal (Lantus) and bolus (Noverapid) insulin.
My own proportion is just about the opposite twices as much fast-acting as very long-acting insulin. I expect that's about what it is for most people.
With the proportions reversed, you'd expect exactly what you are seeing: a steady drop between meals, followed by a large spike after.
BTW: how much insulin did you take per day on pre-mix?
Let's hope you hear from the doctor and get thos straightened out quickly.
