Disappointing A1C results

Sorry, I don't post much but I find this forum quite helpful. I was diagnosed T1 about 8 yrs ago and with diet, excersize, and supplements was able to keep my bg in control up until about a year ago. I finally went to my dr back in May and spent several months on T2 regiments with limited results. So, he sent me to and endo who put me on humalog/lantus.

Back in May my A1C was like 15, in September we got it down to 9.2 and as of Friday it was 8.7. I've slowly been increasing my lantus (from 15 units at night to 23). My endo suggested a 10% increase. Well, I only increased it 24 units and have had night sweats and shakes in the morning. My morning bg's have been around 103/105.

Originally, my humalog dosages were 5 units and I worked up to a typical 7-8 at meal time. But, once I hit 22-23 units of Lantus, my mealtime humalog requirements dropped to like 2-3 typically. Does this make sense?

At the recommendation of my endo, I am supposed to check 2 hrs after meals. This weekend, so far, my bg's have been 115-145. He also set my target from 120 down to 100.

Guess I just need some encouragement.

Thanks
