I just make a spreadsheet with time across the top on the horizontal axis, and then I divide the bolus amounts by 20 (it seems most people here report Levemir and Lantus to stop at about 20 hours), and I plug that amount in for the next twenty hours. Then I do the same for shot #2. So, if you are taking 7U at Noon and 8 at 10PM, we get:

.75U from Noon til 5PM
.75 U from 10PM til 7AM
.4 U from 8AM til Noon
.35 U from 6PM til 10PM

I'd still consider taking the Noon shot at 10AM. But double-check my math, if you will.
