[QUOTE="Rokaab, post: 2390511, member: 450212"] I'm sure some can have 15 carbs without needing any insulin however some of us just cannot, if I do my blood sugar really does start heading towards the stratosphere! Something like Levemir may suit you better if you need much less basal overnight as its taken twice a day so you can have different amounts overnight as to during the day - you probably need to do some basal tests to actually determine whether it is this though - I'm sure someone else can link the details, because it may just be your not taking enough for your previous meal and its taking a good while to kick in Whilst the target is 4-10, only a small amount will ever manage to get close to 100% most of the time, the body is chaotic, and trying to guess what its supposed to be doing all the time just isn't going to happen :) Most days I'll be over 10 at some point, some days it just refuses to drop down from just above ten for no apparent reason It does work for many, at least mostly, but as I said we cannot replicate the exact behaviour of the pancreas, and yes it can be hard work Oh and welcome to the forums :) [/QUOTE]
