[QUOTE="NicoleC1971, post: 2467963, member: 365308"] The chart works well for dosing boluses but unless you are 'in range' at the start of eating I think you will always be chasing your tail. Do you know your ratio of insulin to carbs? The trouble with 'healthy' is that it may still be high carb and I don't consider that healthy for someone who is very insulin resistant. For example I'd steer clear of the low carb breads as they tend to achieve their low carb status by making the slices small (the Poundland trick). Not familiar with Toujeo and there may be a better basal for you or a different dose but the bottom line is to reduce your insulin needs you're likely to need to be filling up ono protein and fat rather than the 'healthy wholegrains'. I hope the current pattern is a blip and gets resolved though as it is tiring and bad for you to be high like this. [/QUOTE]
