Hi have been trying hard this past week to get my ratio right as my diabetes has gone uncontrolled for too long. Iv drastically cut back my carb intake (for me) but bm still high. Any advice on how to work out my ratio? I currently take 18u levimer at night and roughly 2u to 10g carbs but feel even tho I'm adding correcting doses I'm not getting it right. I have no method to my madness it's all guesswork.
A typical day would be:
730am 9.1
930am 13.8 2biscuits 20g 4u+2u to correct
1130am 17.6 2biscuits/small apple 30g 6u+3u to correct
130pm 11.6 2boiled eggs
330pm. 5.7 ham/wheaten bread 30g 6u
530pm 10.5 crisps 15g 3u+1u to correct
830pm 9.1 taco/mince 15g 3u+3u to correct
1030pm 9.8
730am next morn 10.2
This was a working day and I find the mornings very stressfull and physically challenging. My bs always seems to be high at that time. I know the food I eat is not that nutritious at all but it's a big improvement on my previous diet! Thanks in advance of any help xx
