2 units per 10g carbs sends me into a low 1-2 hours after eating and also 1 and a half units also. 1 unit per 10g of carbs isn't enough since it sends my blood glucose above my target range by 2-4.
I figured out that 1 and a quarter units of humalog per 10g of carba keeps my bloods steady and within range. For lunch I had 70g of carbs and my reading was 8.3. So I had 9 units since my pen doesnt dial in halfs or quarters just 1 units. Even though 1.25 x 7 is 8.75 I just rounded it up to 9.
Happy to say it worked out. Could of had 1 more unit to bring to the 5_6 range but with me having a bad hypo this morning I'd rather sit around 6-8 until I can fully understand ny levels after a few days.
I'm so glad I stuck with this ratio and has anyone else heard of 1:25u per 10g before?
