    I am male, 77 yrs. old,type 2 diabetic for over 20 years. 6'4",220 lbs (constant for last 10 years). I take glucophage 500 mg x 3 daily.  I also take 22 units of lantus insulin every morning.  I exercise 6 days a week with light weights and 30 to 40 minutes on a treadmill.  PROBLEM: Glucose level is elevated at bedtime.  Generally from 9 to 14.
    Fasting level in a.m. runs 4 to 6.  If the reading at bedtime is under 7 I have to take something (orange, cheese, etc) or I will drop to low 3's during the night and wake up in cold sweat.  A1C a nonth ago was 7.6 and Dr. wants it under 7.  Would ONGLYZA give me better control that Lantus?  Any suggestions?
