[QUOTE="rmz80, post: 1536113, member: 306547"] [FONT=Arial][SIZE=5]A lot of this work on carb counting ran side by side with starting a diet. My ratios changed about once every 3 days! Up to now I’ve lost 5 stone in 8 months. The base units started at 26 units a day and became less and less to now zero. My understanding (from a published hospital crib sheet) of correct dose base is to reach a wake up reading of 5mmol/L or above, if less (4.5-4.9 two days in a row or one day below 4.5) then deduct 1 unit from base and retest the next morning. This also knocks out the add on fast carb count ratios but can’t be helped; its start again each time the base is touched. You may guess I’ve now done this 26 times in 8 months.[/SIZE][/FONT] [/QUOTE]
