A couple of questions so we can best advise...

What sort of food do you normally eat?
What insulin do you take, is it just your night time one?

I would normally have like rice, chicken spinach, egg a mix not really consistent
I take lantus and yes only once at night
 
Agreed completely with the previous comment must go back to Dr. one dose is not enough This is if you are on the type 1 of diabetes
Have you analyzed C-peptide You can ask your doctor about C-peptide test
 
I’d highly recommend going back to your doctor to review your insulin. Lantus doesn’t cover a full 24 hour period in many people, and you may be at a stage now where you need a fast acting insulin to cover your meals, especially if they include rice. Can I ask where on the world you are?
