| I just started a Lantus/Novolog combo myself. I'm finding that my highs are post-breakfast, and my lows are about 6 hours after my morning Lantus shot. My fastings have been on the high side of OK, but still OK, so I've been heavily considering injecting the Lantus at night. I'm asking my endo about it, and I've already ordered that Using Insulin book, so I'm basically just trying to learn as much as I can about it. I recommend the same for anyone. Knowledge is a powerful weapon for us - so even though I'm not real fond of war metaphors, I'd say arm yourself to the teeth!
On a side note, while I'm still waiting for my book to arrive - what's a good method for switching Lantus to an evening dose without overlapping and putting myself at risk for a hypo?
