You need to do some basal tests as your lantus most likely needs increasing, the following information is for pump users but the advice on fasting for a basal check is just as relevant to those on MDI:

There's some fantastic support on the forum so you've come to the right place @baldy.

If you've not done a carb counting course such as DAFNE then I highly recommend that you do so, they teach you things like basal testing as well as many other aspects of type 1 management, the following is an on-line version of the course which by all accounts is very good:

Hi. I agree you need to check your Basal and try to get your fasting reading somewhere between 5 - 7 mmol if you can avoiding hypos of course. What is your weight like? Has it been going up over recent months?
