[QUOTE="phoenix, post: 427247, member: 12578"] I'm sorry that I didn't make it simple enough. Please look at the diagram on the how stuff works link. Not all glucose comes from your immediate meal. It is produced in and released from the liver and that's why many peoples glucose levels rise overnight. The purpose of a background insulin like Lantus is to deal with it. Insulin helps put a brake on this release. If you are more insulin resistant, possibly because of fat in the liver, then you will need more insulin to do this. [/QUOTE]
