[QUOTE="jones_48, post: 264802, member: 31514"] Hi, I have also recently started carb counting after just guessing for years! From what i've been told 1 unit of fast-acting insulin should decrease your blood sugar by about 3mmol. But it varies from around 1 - 5mmol depending on the individual. So maybe adding 1 unit per 1 mmol is right for you! This website might help you [url=http://dtc.ucsf.edu/types-of-diabetes/type2/treatment-of-type-2-diabetes/medications-and-therapies/type-2-insulin-rx/calculating-insulin-dose/]http://dtc.ucsf.edu/types-of-diabetes/t ... ulin-dose/[/url] - just be aware its american so the blood sugars are measured in mg/dl not mmol :) Your last question 'do the units per day we use have any affect on the calculations?', no i don't think they do, as the number of units we use changes every day! I hope this was a little helpful!! [/QUOTE]
