My daughter is 8 diagnosed with type 1 at 3. She was on lantus then basaglar not back on lantus due to insurance. Shes on novolog but will be switching to humalog once it runs out. I'm having a issue with her spiking at night. She was 192 last night after dinner and bolus. At 8 pm she was given 5 units of lantus and by 2am she was 250 and 260 at 5am . But she drops in the 100s by 9am. How do I prevent the spike. Doc says increase bolus which I dont mind doing but i dont want her to wake up low at 9am the spiking has been continuous for months in the middle of the night

Welcome. Unfortunately, we can't give dosing advice. Do you have a diabetes team that you can phone for reassurance? If the bolus is increased, usually it's in small increments, to help avoid hypos. Talk through the safety of the suggested increment with your doctor. You could always set an earlier alarm to check.
