A little while ago I was switched from NPH and Regular which I have been taking for 29 years to Lantus and Novalog. My sugars were all over the place after the switch. There was no rhyme or reason to it, just very large swings, normally about 375 in the morning and then anywhere between that and 50 throughout the day.

Even my Dr didnt understand the sings, I was eating right and taking enough insulin.

Anyway a week ago I needed more needles for my pen, I normally used the 8mm ones (thats what the Dr gave me as a free sample and I just stuck wth it) but they were out of the 8mm so I got the 12mm. Holy crap what a difference 4mm makes. My blood sugar hasnt been over 200 and for the most part stays around 120. This morning instead of my blood sugar being 300+ like it has been for weeks, it was 89.

This has also resulted in needing to take less insulin for the same coverage.
