Lantus and night hypos.

I split my lantus dose in half and inject it twice this way you get a good 8 hours sleep. Remember it an artificial system we live within its not perfect but it keeps us alive.
 
I have suddenly started having exactly the same problem. Was told to split the Lantas with less at night and more in the morning. It hasn't worked and now I have very blood sugars in the morning as well as hypos at night! Consultant said I might need a pump or different long insulin but the issue persists and sometimes I get little sleep so I called the diabetic nurse and was advised to take different amounts of Novorapid with daytime and evening meals! There has to be a better way.
 


I wonder if splitting the injection schedule to two per day rather than once a day would help? Maybe a question for the pharmacist; I have thought of doing it myself on Humulus N but I don't want to overwhelm my husband with more nursing tasks, as he monitors my injection nightly post supper.
