Your insulin requirement is quite high. Reason for the same needs to be found out. You can be put on some insulin sensitizer like metformin. Insulin basalog fails to work for 24 hrs and that's the reason for high fasting. It can be either changed or split in 2 doses. Go for a full consultation with diabetologist
