[QUOTE="smc4761, post: 1762030, member: 119069"] Thanks for the replies guys really appreciated One thing that did concern me was we were all asked to start with a ration of 1:10 and take it from there. Now I normally do a 1:3 for breakfast followed by 1:5 for lunch and evening meal. Still lets go for it, in effect cutting my insulin by 50%. I was fairly sceptical about this. Pre evening meal reading was a bit high at 9.7 but before bed this had held pretty steady at 9.5. I checked at 3am and it actually dropped to 8.5 and by breakfast it had dropped further again to 6.5 So today for breakfast instead of my usual 1:3 ratio I tried 1:10 and by lunch it had gone to 10.2 from 6.5. Same at lunch time instead of 1:5 I stuck with 1:10 it had gone up but only to 12.3, just over 3 hours later. Looks like I can reduce my 1:3 and 1:5 ratios but may need to make this 1:8. Its all going to be trial and error Every day learning something new and I think as long as we have an open mind to try new things it should be OK [/QUOTE]
