I take Ultra-Lente and Humilog in the morning.  Humilog before lunch and
dinner and NPH at bedtime.  This has kept me fairly even.  I use the Humilog
on a sliding scale depending on the number of carbs I plan to eat for the
meal and whether or not I plan to exercise heavily following the meal.  You
probably will need to use a variety of insulin to keep your blood sugars
close to normal.  A snack at night of carbs helps too.  Check with your
doctor and nutritionist to get the balance you need.  Good luck.
