Keep in mind that NPH only lasts 5.5 hr in me, and Levemir fades noticeably around 11-13 hr.
Latent postprandial rapid+R+N mixes work great until bedtime... but then my BG creeps up about 25 mg/dL overnight. Hence my thoughts about using a little extra bedtime basal.

By being a raging, uncontrolled type 1 diabetic, I suppose.
In retrospect, I was probably doing 5000 Cal/day, and still losing weight. The amount of cheese I ate was scary.
FWIW: I no longer lose weight when I eat like that. Not even close.

I guess if you take that many carbs, your body will have to put it some were and it can only metabolise food at a certain rate so it’s quite possible that your belly still contains food hours later, which results in a constant upward spiral. There is my non-technical explanation.  |
Although it's constant upward, at least it's slow and controlled.
