[QUOTE="librarising, post: 1721156, member: 41957"] Help keep you alive, or at least avoid high blood sugar damage. The bodies produces various substances, without which you'd be dead, such as blood, cholesterol, insulin. All Dawn Phenomenon sufferers know that the body has a useful facility to put glucose into the blood stream when necessary, at various times of the day. This happens even in the absence of food, so a T1D, with little to no self-produced insulin (just like some T2Ds), has to compensate for this by injecting a long-lasting basal. Basal at the correct dose helps produce a stable blood sugar level, where correctly dosed boluses then do the same for food intake. When the body works as intended, it's a little miracle machine :) Geoff [/QUOTE]
