It appears that you need to add an intermediate acting insulin in the morning,but take your doctors advice.your diet may need some adjustments.you will do fine.At the age of 79 please do not go for blood levels.

I was also a Lantus user for past 9 yrs. My Lantus dose has reduced considerably with some Ayurvedic medicine. I will give details after complete recovery. I feel that there may be Insulin resistance in some people. Wheatgrass juice(prefaerably fresh) or tablet with Stevia reduces the Insulin resistance. Would like to know if anyone has tried this. Thanks
