Hmmm, have you tried some tests during the night ( pain I know) to get some idea of what is happening during the night? I'm not sure where I'm going with this but it could show if you're steadily dropping or if the lantus is having some sort of peak just before you wake up? What sort of numbers are you going to bed with?
I did do a test in the night a few days ago and I was 2.5, which is one of the things that convinced me to lower the lantus. I've been going to bed around 5.5-7.5 over the past few nights, but with a snack of bread and peanut butter. My daytime (pre-meal) readings have also been dropping low, despite being similarly cautious with the novorapid, so I've assumed a reduction in basal is needed too. I'm not overly anxious about things because I do seem to be just about staying 'ahead of the game' and my levels are actually pretty good on the whole, just a little perplexed!🙂
