Some places say apply your usual insulin:carb ratio to 50% of the carbs consumed for that meal e.g.:
If my insulin:carb = 1:5
And my meal is 45g Carbs 25g Fat and 60g Protein I would need to take the following:-
For the carbs 4.5 x 1.5 = around 7u PLUS for the protein 3 x 1 = 4.5u
Soo a total of 11.5u (I would round that up)
Does this sound right?
Sorry if this an obvious question but have only been on MDI for about 2months after 30 years plus on 30/70 twice daily injections so still learning.
