Double dose of Lantus! Doh!

Not recommended: Last night I managed to inject twice as much Lantus from 9 units to 18units. Now I imagine if someone else had done this they would have had severe lows, however my lows were gradual and less severe than I would have thought. I woke up throughout the night eating things. Could it be that I just gave my pancreas a "rest" for 24hours or is simply that the Lantus hasn't settled down? I read something recently that said if you’re taking less than 20units TDD then you are honeymooning (I am about 17 TDD), the reason for this conjecture is that I am trying to second guess my honeymoon, it’s seemingly towards the end if indeed I am honeymooning.

12:44am: 4.4mmol/L (not sure if I ate anything here)
1:49am: 4.7mmol/L and had bread 7.5g of carbs
2:41am: 5.5mmol/L
3:00am: 6.3mmol/L and had milk + muesli (homemade) 18g of carbs
9:00am: 8.5mmol/L
