| There's two things to consider.
1) Insulin is designed to lower BG levels. Unless you have it set 100% perfect, Lantus will take you low throughout the day. The thing most don't consider is that there is always food being digested by our body, even 3-5 hours after we eat sometimes, depending on how much fat is in it. And Lantus has a slight peak, so that has to be taken somewhat into consideration, although many the peak is so small it doesn't matter.
2) The second thing to consider is your body's own fat and what causes DKA. Now, I'm not saying you are going to go into DKA, but the same theory works here. Without food in your body, your body will burn your fat for energy. In this process, some glucose is created in a sense and may raise the BG levels. I'm not sure though how long without food before this starts happening enough to see a raise.
Again, both points may not happen to you. But it's really not sure until you find out.
