[QUOTE="donnellysdogs, post: 1230494, member: 17713"] Do either of you basal test? Ie go without your evening meal and also the bolus to check your basals are right? This to me would be the first step. Then once you got your basal evening dose right than you can test if your bolus ratio's are right... It also of course also depends on the types of food you are eating... Ie I even count the carbs in 15g of fera cheese, weigh out 52g of skinned cucumber and 30g of avocado... And even carb account for a boiled egg to go with that food.. I cannot really talk about real food as my stomach and bowels are so messed up so no longer eat what others do... But I know years ago I found foods and insulin definitely react depending whether fats, carbs etc and heavy lots of cheese etc would really mess me up. I know you both aren't newbies to T1 but it may be worthwhile doing basal tests and even weighing food to be exact to get everything easier and better for you both... Definitely worth lowering the carbs... Lower insulin.. Lower errors.. [/QUOTE]
