[QUOTE="Neoncat, post: 1741509, member: 397089"] Hi [USER=391597]@Hollieo4[/USER] the correct amount of insulin is whatever keeps your blood glucose in range, some people only need a little, for others it's more ( I have 1:7 insulin to carb ratio so I have had entire meals that need 11 units ;) ) I also wouldn't worry about the 1lb gain you can go up and down that much just based on how much water you drank, if you have used the WC that day, and for me my time of the month can push up my weight. One thing I did learn about insulin and exercise is that if you can exercise 2-3 hours after your last bolus (so the bolus insulin has cleared your system) your body is more likely to burn fat for its fuel rather than trying to pull it straight out of the blood stream. Easier said than done of course, but if you can it's worth trying. Finally you should feel good about the weight you have lost. As everyone will tell you, slow and steady means you are more likely to keep it off. [/QUOTE]
