The numbers are looking good. Well done! But the fact that you need an extra 5 units of Novolog in the morning seems strange to me. And I would be very uncomfortable with having all that Lantus is one go at night. You can expect a lot of insulin action variablility. In other words, some days it works fine and other days you get unexpected results.

It would be interesting to know what your blood glucose is doing at night. Could all that Lantus be causing your BG to bottom out during the night and rebound to high levels in the morning? This is the so-called Somogyi Effet, which is not as common as many people think. But it is worth testing for it. On a night when you are in the target range before going to bed, set your alarm clock to wake you up so that you can test at 2am and 4am. Let us know what your results are.
