[QUOTE="jackois, post: 594863, member: 99684"] Hi Beverly. as BillyBadger says... you need to make sure you take your lantus. I have an alarm set on my phone to remind me. As for eating, I use myfitnesspal and a good set of scales to work out how many carbs each of my meals contain. Initially, it doesn't really matter what you eat as long as you measure the carbs and then take enough novorapid to cover it. I managed to work out dosages by eating the same meals at the same time for a few days and working out a ratio of carb to insulin unit for each mealtime. I found this to be important as I need less insulin for mornings and afternoons while I'm active and then more in the evening when I laze about. Hope this helps. [/QUOTE]
