[T1] Lantus in the morning?

I know most people on MDI take their basal at bedtime. When I was hospitalized for DKA, they got me started on Lantus first thing in the morning, and I've stuck with it for two months now. Is there a downside to this? Is it worth making the gradual switch to nighttime? Does anyone else take their basal injection in the morning?

EDIT: I should mention that my waking time in the morning is far more consistent than my bedtime at night. So it seems easier to take it in the AM than PM.
