    Help - big long lasting spikes ( even with stacking lots of insulin )

    Also . My basal Is 14. Maybe that is too low for me . How come on here I’ve seen people say their basil is something tiny like 5?? Mine might meant to be 15-20 for all I know . Why do I need a big amount like that ?? Does that point to insulin resistance??:(
