allsg8- That’s exactly what I said -what facts do I have to check? What wrong information did I post? I’ll say it again -it’s better to have a lower insulin level for those that give themselves insulin- so glycogenlysis can occur. In your pump language -less or no boluses.
Forever 1- I never mentioned basal, someone else did. Plus, you don’t need insulin to survive technically. People die from DKA, not from too much sugar. The by-product of anaerobic respiration is acid which makes the body go into metabolic acidosis. They also die from dehydration. So technically it’s not the insulin you can’t live without, it’s all the complications that are caused by sugar not getting into the cells for its energy.
