So this is my body doing its own thing. |
It can take quite a bit longer than 24 hours for all lantus to exit the system.
From the results of this rather dubious test, you are deducing that you have no basal requirements at all. Considering you normally take 40 units lantus daily and seem to be running high most of the day in the ordinary course of things, I find this extremely hard to believe. It is within realms of possibility that you take far too much basal and far too little bolus, thus the food is somehow propping you up on what is an insane amount of Lantus if indeed you need no basal.
I don't know. From your posts I have to observe you seem to complicate things rather than just do some simple procedures and answer some simple questions. If I were you I would focus on testing and correcting obviously ineffective insulin doses, both basal and bolus, rather than spend effort and time in flawed experiments trying to prove I don't need basal insulin.
