When I was on Lantus, I always took it in the am...maybe to prevent lows that are common in the wee hours in the morning. Then I needed to divide the dose up, b/c it wasn't lasting me the complete 24 hours

, so I took the majoriy in the morning and the rest in the evening and that did help tremendously. I don't think it would be a problem for you to switch taking it from pm to am, but I would definitely suggest you talk to your doctor before making such changes

. It's alway a good idea to discuss these type of things and see what your MD thinks.

Good luck!
