Yes, I completely agree with Zoe. Increasing your Lantus will likely make you have MORE lows during the night. Be sure to wake up at 2am for a while to check for lows.

If you are seeing highs in the evening and lows in the night, you may want to gradually move your Lantus from 11pm to 6pm or so by taking it 1 hour earlier per day (you do NOT want to suddenly change the time of your injections, one hour change per day!). This would mean that your lows would be more likely in the evening when you are awake rather than at night!!
yea i will do that take my insuline 1 hr earler each day cuz night lows are scary it might just get to low n i wont know and yea i started checking at 2am
HII Kelly WPA i will follow what you said and get that book because i dont wanna get any lower BS readings and i am going to look for another endo. I defenitly dont want any complications dats the part that scares me most and i dont want to go into DKA either because 3 weeks ago i went into DKA and it was really bad i dont want to go through that again ever
