Somebody posted an article recently that suggested "appropriate" dosages tend to last only 12 hours. The 24 hour estimates were based on inflated needs. It sounds like split dosing of xamirs and Lantus is becoming standard partly because of this.
It still doesn't address your high DP though, Keep following up on that NPH line of thought.
