[QUOTE="Tinkerbelly, post: 19817, member: 6179"] Hi Louise Lantus can be a weird insulin to use at times. The reason why your bg is up in the morning is probably due to one of two things, it's either because of the dawn effect or because you are not injecting enough Lantus to see you through the night. If you are not eating any carb before bed, I should have a go at eating a small amount to see what effect that has. I would not think though that you are going hypo in the night. I would guess that you are not injecting enough Lantus so eat some carb and basal a bit more. This should do the trick. You asked a good question as to why the liver can't compensate to prevent hypos and I don't know the answer to that but maybe diabetesgeek will know [/QUOTE]
