Adding another insulin might be the best way.

I'd recommend you try some basal testing. This will isolate the Lantus so you can better determine what's happening when.
Thanks for reading my reply, but no, I'm not spilting my dosage. There was a time when I was spiltng my dosage of Lantus, I was taking 30 at night and 25 in the morning, but that didn't work out too well. Now I'm going to a new doctor and she wants me to only take the dosage at night. Another thing to think about, my sugar levels are always pretty decent in the day hours, but as soon as 7pm hits until about 12mid. my levels go crazy. I thought that maybe it was something I was eating for dinner, but it goes up even before I eat dinner. Whether I have eaten or not the levels always go up about 7pm., we just can't seem to figure this out.

Today my levels were under 170 all day, I ate breakfast and something around 2pm, then I went out to go somewhere. I got back in about 8:30pm, had nothing to eat, but my count was still 303. This is crazy. One!
