[QUOTE="Brunneria, post: 2083016, member: 41816"] Hi Dave, The problem is that everyone is different, so what works (in terms of insulin doses) for one person won't necessarily work for another. Has your wife been taught about insulin ratios and how to count carbs and calculate the appropriate amount for her? And is she having many hypos? Though you may be aware that type 1 diabetics are advised to treat anything below 4mmol/l as a hypo. Other factors to take into account when running at low levels is loss of hypo awareness (which means that the person shouldn't be driving), and the severity of hypos. Did your wife's nurse discuss any of this with her? I will tag in some experienced insulin users who may be able to give you some input, but they won't be able to give direct advice on doses and medication, because our forum rules prevent that.
