Leking, I would think that if you were needing to split your Lantus into two shots you be most likely to be having higher sugars towards the afternoon and evening rather than at midnight. What time do you take your Lantus? I suppose you could be having some drop-off between the end of the previous 24hrs and the most recent shot.

Are you sure your ins:carb ratio is correct? Could it be being affected by the actual content of what you're eating and not just the amount of carbs? You could also try having a light snack before bed - maybe some protein and about 5-10 grams/carbs.

I found that I had to split mine, I inject 10u in the evening, and 9 in the morning. I found if I split it evenly I was going low in the afternoons. I also have better control if I inject at 12 hour intervals - between 7-8 a.m. and
7-8 p.m.
