Default New to insulin for dawn syndrone

Having a hard time getting my insulin adjusted. Just started taking it at bedtime for overnight for the Dawn syndrone. I'm on Humulin N; started at 5 units at bedtime; up to 15 units now. Out of bed bg readings still not below 165. Now I've started to bottom out before lunch--even after eating a full breakfast. Two days ago 73; today 50 which earned me a full, head on hypoglycemic attack with shaking, slurring, sweating, etc. I'm also on Metformin, 1000 2/day, Glimeporine 1mg, 2/day and Victoza, 18 units in the morning. My last aiC was 7.6.

Where do I go from here!?! My Dawn syndrone is hanging in there and really stubborn!!

Are you taking a long term insulin at night and in the morning? I take a 60%/40% split dosage of Levemir.
