[QUOTE="Circuspony, post: 2292196, member: 432241"] I'm LADA and was in a trial where they measured my insulin (c-peptide) output over a few hours after a measured amount of glucose. My pancreas is still producing some insulin but it has a VERY delayed response. For my body that means by the time I have my evening meal my pancreas has decided to kick out some natural insulin. So for chilli, 60g of rice, some strawberries and dark chocolate this evening I've only needed 2 units of lantus. If i had that meal at midday I'd have to take about 6 units. Now I know I have a 1/2 unit pen so if dinner is low carb I can take a really low dose. I did a basel test and was fairly flat all day and night. Pancreas only seems to want to help out if I have a carby lunch!! [/QUOTE]
