Why to give long acting insulin at 9pm if low blood sugar level?

The long-acting insulin is to provide a more stable baseline for the following day. So as strange as it seems, you can be drinking a glass of Orange Juice to get your sugar level up and then taking your bedtime shot of long-acting insulin. (If you're doing that, try to get somebody to verify that you're injecting the right amount of the right kind of insulin, or wait 10-15 minutes until your sugar is a more reasonable level.
