Ratio's

[Padders91]

I have found just recently that I need to increase my ratios from a 1:1 to maybe a 2.3; 1 at work, even though I have the same lunch everyday, and I don't understand the reason, because on the weekends I can have the same lunch and my sugars be Witin range, does anybody else have the same trouble with ratio,s

Stress and lack of exercise can determine how much insulin you take whilst working to what you would use at home on a weekend.

its just weird because, I am on my feet at work, walking about and what have you, I do tend to go on my 1 hour walks everyday, and in the main it keeps my sugars stable, but as soon I miss a days walk my sugars tend to creep up again.

My ratios are different at each meal. 1.5:1 at breakfast, 0.5:1 at lunch,1:1 at dinner and 0.75:1 at bedtime for my nightcap drink!!! Sometimes hard to remember all of them!!!!

Soz to be a bit slow... But what does 1:1 (or 0.5:1 etc) mean...?

Is it 1 unit to 10g carbs, - or in the case of 0.5:1, half a unit to 10g carbs...?
