2 thoughts. 1) you say night shift is "boring" maybe the lack of stress is causing lower bg's. (I never believed this until my first week at my new job... there is so little stress I'm having trouble keeping my bloodsugar up, it's all different without the stress)
2) You mention taking the lantus in the evening, maybe splitting the dose (1/2 in the am 1/2 in the pm) would make your numbers leveler over a 24 hour period.

obviously talk to your doc before changing anything.
