[QUOTE="catapillar, post: 1365259, member: 32394"] Are you carb counting then? It seems like you are on fixed doses for meals. If you're going to consider reducing your carb intake, you really need to be confident in adjusting your insulin to cover the carbs you are eating. There's some stuff on average total daily dose roughly by weight, but even those guides accept that there isn't really an average. The right amount of insulin is how ever much is needed to keep you in range, it's going to vary by the individuals weight, activity levels, stress levels, illness, hormones and diet. My TDD varies between 26-43 (at least it has over the last week or so) depending on what I'm eating and what I'm up to. [/QUOTE]
