[QUOTE="EllieM, post: 2519068, member: 372717"] Good point. I also personally think that the formula is a bit like the 1 unit per 10g rule often used for starting out insulin dosing, it's a guess that then gets modified by experience. eg Although my clinic also uses that formula, for me it would suggest that 1 unit of insulin brings my levels down by about 2.5 mmol/L, and for me it's more like 1.25mmol/L . (Logically, given that the amount of carbs you eat greatly affects your daily insulin dose, the calculation is going to be drastically affected by how many carbs you eat in a day.) [/QUOTE]
