You determine your basal insulin needs by how if affects your fasting bg.
In a functioning pancreas it puts out small bits of insulin all acting insulin like Lantus or Levemir .

Thanks

Good luck with the overnight hours as thoseYour basal insulin should maintain a steady (flatline) BG for you indefinately without the additon of any food or exercise.
