From what you've written, it sounds like your primary problem is that you are taking too much Lantus. What is your dosage? How did you arrive at that number? When do you take it during the day?
I think the move from NPH to Lantus is probably a good idea. But I am curious that you/they didn't lower your dosage on that to address the drops and hypos. Did you lower it, and what was the result? Was something else happening?
