The whole idea behind using insulin is to use that big spike after injection to shuttle nutrients to your muscles.(ideally PWO when you become catabolic). By using a longer acting insulin, there isnt a large spike, and you have to keep your carb consumtion up for the entire duration it is active. For you that is 12 hours. What if you didnt have enough carbs before bedtime??? You must not be very active, if you have insulin in your system and are burning carbs through physical activity, and your carbs get low you WILL go hypo. Why risk that??
You are not getting results because there is no high peak with type "N" insulin. The way you are running it is keeping you anabolic, yes, but that is all it is doing.
Try this, run Humalog for a week, I gaurantee you will see69 a huge difference.
