I take Lantus in the morning. I think the only way to answer your question is for you to try it & find out.
For myself I have found that the Lantus seems to kick in about 4 hours after the shot, but is only lasting 20 hours. That means when I get up & take it at 7.30 my BG is fine, but will start to rise until the new shot kicks in. I now bolus an extra 2 units with my breakfast shot to cover that, but then go a bit low around 11.30am, so need to eat about 20gm carb. From then on I can go right through till about 4pm. The Lantus has a slight peak at that time for me which I need about 10gm carb to cover & I'm pretty right till dinner.
