DealCorn,
Welcom to the forum.
I switched from Humlin N to Lantus about 6 months ago. I didn't notice any difference in the nature of insulin reactions. I get as much warning of hypos coming on as I did with Humulin N. In fact, I now start feeling hypo a lot sooner than I used to. But that is because fewer hypos have resulted in a return of hypoglycemic awareness.
I haven't heard complaints like yours about Lantus. Could your hypo awareness have deteriorated about the time that you switched to Lantus beceause of an increase in the number of hypoglycemic episodes? In which case, you may want to review the Lantus dosage. Lantus shouldn't make you go hypo at night.
Test your basal rate by skipping a meal and testing every hour. If your bsl goes down with each successive test, your Lantus dose is too high and needs to be reduced.
I found that it took a long time for the Lantus action to settle down. But I am now reaping the benefits of a peakless and very consisten basal insulin. You will need to be patient.
Cheers,
Mark
