I think this sounds a bit like what I have been having up until recently.
I would wake up at 4.5(81) 2 hours later I would be 10.5(189) & then hypo by 11.30. Is this what you mean?
I think what is happening in my case, is that the Lantus is only lasting 20 hours. It's fine when I get up, but then I'm short until the next shot kicks in around 11.00-11.30.
I have found if I skip breakfast my BG rises.
The last 2 days I've taken an extra 2 units of Novo to cover that gap. I've tested 2 hours later & got a good reading & had a snack about 10.30. That has prevented the hypo & given me pretty good results up to lunch.
That could be worth a try.
Also I tend to eat lowish carb, so the max carbs I would have is 40, but often less. I think that helps
