I had a similar problem with the Dawn Phenomenon. When I switched to Lantus, my morning blood sugars were vey high. Combining Lantus and NPH sorted that out. I used to inject NPH before bed, to deal with the DP. And I injected Lantus in the morning. It meant that I had basal coverage throughout the day and extra coverage when I needed it in the morning. Doing it this way also means that the gap in Lantus coverage is filled by the peak in NPH action.

Taking the Lantus at dinner time may work better for you if your blood sugar is dropping in the evening. Its just a case of trying out the different permutations until you find what works best. Good luck.
