I've really been struggling with the Lantus and exercise mix. When I first started out, I did okay with a few lows here and there (nothing out of the ordinary for me). But as I added in new and different work outs and upped my intensity, I'm struggling to keep my blood sugars stable before, during, and after exercise.

Now that I'm back on Lantus, I'm re-learning everything that I did five or six years ago (since high school held my hardest workouts). But I'm failing miserably. I can't get the range right before working out, often soaring to the 260's. And during, I'm flatlining in that same range.
