and exercise is nothing to do with it i'm sure.
Exercise, food, and insulin all have to do with it. It's just figuring out the right ratios of each.

How many times a day do you test? When is the latest you've eaten? You haven't painted any sort of picture of what your "typical" day is in which you experience a high. Perhaps you're not dosing enough for your mealtime? Or protein/fat finally digest near midnight, resulting in you going high? After you treat your midnight high with insulin aspart, do you wake up normal again? (Could your evening Lantus dose be insufficient?)

We can't play doctor here (though it might be fun ) but perhaps listing a log (with times/events) for a typical day would be helpful. Include foods, exercise, glucose tests, and insulin dosages where appropriate. Maybe we can take a gander at it and see if there's anything that is obvious from our pool of experience.
