Hello
I think i have just about figured out my insulin to carb ratio ( 1 unit of novorapid covers 4.5 carbs) but was wondering how to calculate how much insulin reduces my blood sugar ? eg if my blood sugar was high before food and i wanted to try and bring it down a bit by taking extra insulin with my meal ?
also how long dose it normal take to get your blood sugars under control after diagnoses, i found out i was diabetic almost 2 months ago and my blood sugars are still going high (somewhere in the 9's/ 10') about once a day.
