Message: <blockquote data-quote="GrantGam" data-source="post: 1260534" data-attributes="member: 295621">Wow 96 hours!I guess it's normal to see a large reduction in insulin requirements when cutting back on the carbs. So I'd imagine even more so when fasting.Basal and bolus insulins are the same concentrations (basal just released more slowly). So 4u of QA daily when fasting vs 24u of Lantus on a normal day, could roughly translate to a reduction of around 83%?Maths was never my strong point, but if I'm right in what I've just said then you're not far off my basal reductions when knocking the carbs right back.I've never fastest before though and don't fancy the 96hr challenge<img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite1" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)" loading="lazy" data-shortname=":)" />What were the results of your last c-peptide test?[USER=30007]@tim2000s[/USER] should be able to provide you with a concrete answer for your query, he's very clued up with insulin requirements, etc. Cheers,Grant</blockquote>
