[QUOTE="Jaylee, post: 2438471, member: 101136"] Hi Geordie, It's unclear what insulin regime your father is on. But from what you say, this is a very "oldschool" approach for anyone prescribed insulin? Eat more carbs to stay on top of the dose.. As a T1 myself, growing up as a kid, this was what I was directed. No-one ever thought to tweak the dose. & MDI was not an option back then. Fast forward a few decades. This needn't be the case, or at least limit the lows or the severity of that can come with the territory of exogenous insulin use.. A basal bolus regime is more flexible at achieving this. Successfully tailored, it can reduce the need to snack because of the risk of lows.. [/QUOTE]
