[QUOTE="dannyw, post: 775134, member: 134545"] The trouble with large insulin doses is the margin for error. It's extremely difficult to count accurately every carb in a meal as different foods in different combinations can give varied results. Take into account varying ratio's etc and the task of accurately matching correct dose to meal becomes much harder. Because of these issues, the chances of underestimating or overestimating dose is very real. This can lead to a spike or a hypo. The higher the dose, the higher the probability of error. [/QUOTE]
