2) the other thing you might mess with is your bolus ratio during the day

some folks on here (including your truly) have to adjust their ratio based on the time of day.

If I eat breakfast before 10am, I use 1:4 or 1:5 depending on what I have and then go back to 1:15 for lunch and supper.

If I skip breakfast or sleep so late as to not want it, I just use regular 1:15

but then you probably know all this and I'm just giving you useless knowledge.
I've read that a shot of hard liquor before bed works wonders for some as well (no joke...alcohol inhibits the liver from releasing glucose).

Also, as some stated, consider splitting your dose: From what I can see here it would seem Lantus lasts about 20 hours for most people. Knowing that, you can try to calculate when you need to most "coverage" and when you need the least, and time your shots based on this.
