[QUOTE="piotrek9111, post: 1852577, member: 487369"] Hey Lorna, If your sugars move that quickly up and down I think you definitely should start counting carbs, its affecting your blood sugar heavily if you dont know how much you ate and just put 18 U... For a start, it could be a good idea to start with one meal with same amount of carbs for example 50 grams and then try how much insulin you need to keep your sugar in range ( be extra careful with insulins amount ! ) check your sugar level one hour after meal and 2 hours after meal if its too high then you obviously need more insulin, if too low - too much insulin whenever it go below 4 - eat some, what I call quick carbs I use Dextroenergy tabs you can buy them at any Home Bargains ( for low sugar eat at least two tabs) Thats for a start PS if your sugar levels are moving up and down heavily check sugar level at least 8 times a day and observe where it move [/QUOTE]
