[QUOTE="Bluetit1802, post: 2100013, member: 94045"] Have you tried fasting for longer than your 16 hours? What foods and drinks do you have in a typical day? You say you are lowish carb, but how low is lowish? Do you count your carbs and measure your portions? Do you test before each meal and again 2 hours after first bite to see what your food choices are doing to you? A high fasting level is often a symptom of severe insulin resistance. If you do have severe insulin resistance, taking even more through injections will be counter productive. Insulin resistance means we need more and more insulin to clear the glucose from meals, but, and it is a big but, the more insulin we have floating about makes the insulin resistance worse. It is a vicious circle. Do you snack between meals? Exercise helps with general health and with insulin resistance, but the saying goes that you cannot outrun a bad diet - a suitable diet is the key, not exercise. [/QUOTE]
