[QUOTE="Spiker, post: 538150, member: 102150"] It does seem crazy but for a good chunk of the last 20 years people have been taught at diagnosis to do a form of "basal bolus" that specified fixed amounts of quick acting insulin with each meal. For example, 8u for breakfast and lunch, 12u for dinner. No carb counting was ever taught to these people - and I am one of them. No dose adjustment was taught apart from "if it's a bigger/smaller than usual meal have a bit more/less insulin". As vague as that. [/QUOTE]
