[QUOTE="KK123, post: 2396660, member: 451727"] I use 'next to no insulin', 6 units of basal a day and only 1 unit of bolus for every 20 carbs (ish), as long as the amount of insulin your son DOES use keeps him in a safe range then it matters not whether it's 1 unit a meal or 20. So yes, your son may be able to use lower amounts which will still work. From my own experience, if I did not use ANY insulin for a 30 carb meal my levels would rise, so I use 1 unit and even that small amount stops the rise. x [/QUOTE]
