[QUOTE="MeiChanski, post: 2125994, member: 503481"] Yes its important to do it gradually. I'm sorry I got it wrong, you also have to take into consideration that we experience some degree of insulin resistance when our numbers reach a quite high range, so some need extra units to bring it down. I wasn't taught how to carb count at the beginning so I wouldn't be too down about it, it's a long learning process and we are all unique. You just need to adjust your carb ratio according to the carbs you're eating, some carbs break down sooner than others so you need to probolus before hand to minimise the spike and some need a split dose when fat is involved, like takwaways etc. I know it sounds pretty overwhelming right now, but do take it easy. I'm a bit worried about your high numbers, it's scarily high. But let us know how you eat on with your nurse, you just need to know a few things at the moment: You'll learn everything through time, through your team and through DAFNE and Bertie. [/QUOTE]
