[QUOTE="Dillinger, post: 790577, member: 13582"] Hi, At the moment it looks like your morning ratio is slightly off; you are on a 1: 6.6 ratio (insulin to carbs) and that took you to 4.3 which would have probably have kept on dropping as you were at the peak strength of your insulin which had about 2 more hours to run. So, over that morning period you took 30 grams of carbs and 3 units of insulin and were sitting at a great 5.8 for lunch. That suggests that your morning ratio should be 1:10 Try that for a couple of days and see what happens. Keeping in mind that if you need to change it for 1 meal you won't necessarily need to change if for any other. Your ratio could be this; 1:10 breakfast 1:10 lunch 1:15 supper. What was your evening blood sugar and basal dose the night before? If the bloods were within about 10% of 8.5 then the basal is correct. You can then figure out the evening bolus ratio for your evening meal so that you go to bed slightly lower than 8.5. If your evening bloods were quite different from 8.5 you still need to get that right by increasing/decreasing the evening basal accordingly. Best Dillinger [/QUOTE]
