Hi. So I take levimer 20u at night and 10u in morning. My novorapid ratios are 2u to 10g in the am then 1.5u to 10g afternoon and evening.

This past week I've started eating healthier and reducing my carbs. I'm now going low pre evening meal and pre bed.

So my question is do I reduce my am levimer or do I reduce my lunch and dinner ratio to 1u to 10g.

Thanks peeps
 
Ah @tim2000s can someone not do the testing for me?! It's tiring this diabetes carry on but I have to say I'm extatic to be reducing my insulin needs for once! That's a great link and seems straight forward (which I need). Thanks for the help
 
Hiya @samantha13 - I often feel with type 1 management that you have to put the extra effort in to reap the rewards, I know what you mean though it's alot to manage to stay on top of it. Still the fact that your insulin requirements are reducing are great, in some respects eating low carb makes perfect sense as less insulin to take therefore less room for error with going high and low.

I am going to be doing some basal testing too so maybe if you want some support PM me and we can buddy up ? I am planning on doing some AM/PM testing Mon/Tues next week - I am not looking forward to no food but am looking forward to seeing what happens with my basal doses ;)
