Hello @germansheppard234 I take it you mean Lantus - which is your basal insulin ? What are you readings like through the day and are you carb counting and matching your quick acting insulin to carbs eaten?
Constant low readings indicate you are taking too much insulin - so increasing either your basal/background or your quick acting insulin will make matters worse, you can try doing some basal testing to check if it's your basal insulin: http://www.salforddiabetescare.co.uk/index2.php?nav_id=1007
If you 're not confident doing the basal testing and are struggling to see someone can you call your GP instead ?
