I think you're mixing 2 different points of discussion here...
The Lantus increasing is to lower my fasting BG to 140 or less, per my Dr.'s instruction.... Ie:' to start establishing my basal insulin requirements, and has nothing to do with my meal time spikes...
My mealtime spikes seem (to me) to show that the metformin is pretty much not doing anything...
And Jacobsam's recomendations were (I believe) directed towards helping me with my Dawn Syndrome. Though, many of the foods he mentioned cause me to spike badly, and I simply can't tolerate.... Perhaps that will change once I start to take bolus injections....
