Different types of i: There are lots of different types of insulin. Some long acting, some shot acting etc. Taking blood sugars at different times of the day will help you and your doctor establish a pattern for you.

Basal insulin: At the age you are I am not sure if you are a type 1 or 2 dm your routine sounds appropriate for type 2 in this case Lantus (insulin glargine) can be used with oral meds not alone and can be used as u indicate if type 1 this is not a good routine basal Insulin like Lantus (insulin glargine) in combination with orval's can help to get you in a good but not ideal range once fasting glucose normalizes check 2 hours after eating.
