Even if you don't eat any carb you blood sugar will creep up overtime. Insulin is only one side of an equation - your body still produces Glycogen which is like the opposite of insulin. It raisies blood sugar in the body. Your body will naturally release Glycogen - this increases with stress, adrenaline and other factors and sometimes excercise.  Have you done Dafne course or talked to your diabetic nurse/consultant about your change in diet. You basically need a small amount of insulin throughout the day to keep your blood sugar level.  That is one of the advantages of a pump is that you don't need to eat carb so much. The problem with long acting insulins is they do have a bit of a hump which can push your blood sugar down.  You still do need to have at least some long acting though.</blockquote>
