As a new user you should always consult with your medical team before changing your insulin regime.
As a general rule however, most of us make changes to our insulin regimes to suit our own needs, and we are all different in terms of our dietary needs and when we take exercise etc. This means that what works for me may not work for you.
Your liver releases a constant trickle of glucose and this allows your body to obtain energy for basic functions like keeping your heart pumping etc. Long acting insulin is designed to deal with this trickle.
Through the use of a Freestyle Libre I discovered that the action of Lantus started to tail off after around 18hrs and so even without eating, I could see my glucose levels start to rise at around 15:00 the following day after an evening injection.
Many people experience a burst of glucose shortly before or after waking and taking your Lantus in the evening should help with this. If you took Lantus in the morning it may start to tail off during your sleep period and so you could wake up with high glucose levels.
Through monitoring you can determine if your glucose levels are rising after 18hrs or maybe the Lantus does work for you for the full 24hrs.
