I recently switched to am with my lantus. I usually took 32 units at night and one evening i took 16 pm and then 16 am and then none that night and then the whole amount 32 units the next morning. The reason why most doctors prescribe lantus at night is because of people mixing up lantus and there fast acting insulin. This way you never mix anything b/c lantus is at night all by its self. It would really suck to take 32 units humulog... looks like a hypo to me
