Also, is there a reason you're taking Lantus in the morning? Most people start off taking it at night, and switch to the morning if there is a problem. I wouldn't' advise taking it at night right now, b/c i think you're taking way too large a dose and will end up hypo in the wee hours of the morning, but i just wanted to know the reason behind it.

The bonus of taking it at night is,
1) if you are on the right dose and you go to bed with a stable blood sugar of 90, you will stay there all night (1/3 of your life with a perfect blood sugar, with no effort on your part!!) and
2) as Lantus tends to "wear off" toward the end of its action period, it's nice to have that be during the day, when you are covering with fast acting insulin. and
3) you can sleep as late as you want.

Just some food for thought. I'd knock that Lantus dose SIGNIFICANTLY tomorrow.
