[QUOTE="tim2000s, post: 947792, member: 30007"] Following a discussion in a separate topic, where a statement was made to the effect that taking a dose of insulin towards the bottom end of the Y-axis on this graph (I'm assuming below 0.2U/kg - which is 16U for an 80kg person) wasn't worthwhile as it made no difference as there are far bigger variables going on in the body, I wondered what other peoples thoughts on this might be.

Have other people experienced that small doses of basal insulin make little difference to their control or that they are sensitive enough to only require low doses? [/QUOTE]
