[QUOTE="iHs, post: 636186, member: 8799"] For twice daily insulins to work ok, its important to eat carbohydrate in little but often amounts.. this is not as bad as it might seem as most people can eat substantial amounts like 20-30g carb for breakfast, a biscuit mid morning, 30g carb lunch, biscuit or peace of fruit mid afternoon and then eve meal which the eve injection will cover and will cope with carb of about 30-40g ok and a biscuit before going to bed to make sure that bg levels dont go too low whilst asleep. So in other words, twice daily insulin means eating to the action of the insulin's effect on controlling bg ok, that's why the need to eat little and often works ok and adjusting the carbohydrate and bg testing to get the balance of carbohydrate correct. But once the balance of carb is found, apart from dealing with the odd hypo now and again, life can be fairly good. [/QUOTE]
