hi laura i know how you feel basically that whole 1/10 ratio for insulin and carbs seems like bull as i tried it out this morning i had bran flakes and two pieces of toast the whole carb content came to 50g so i took 8 units of insluin and low and behold two hours later my blood sugar is 13.5 cant win then a hour later its 2.4 just mental dont know *** is going on with it sick of living my life like this on a constant high or low having to make sure i dont go anywhere without food is a nightmare do you have much luck with your basual insulin and your daily insulin regime as i am open to any help
Consider doing the DAFNE Course. It sorted me out in 2013 and it's much more than just learning how to carb count. You learn much more than the DSN will ever tell you.I'm guessing it's normal for your blood sugars to fluctuate during the day but I can't seem to keep mine regular this has been the same for a year now I'm on humolog 7 units In morning 10 at lunch and 12 in evening and all my readings are all over the place I hardly eat much and when I do I get severe highs and sudden lows my reading this morning was 2.1 what is that !! I must be having hypos daily as my hba1c is 5.4 which is too low really this is annoying as I get no help with doctors and just feel trapped in this non stop rollar coaster iv had diabites for 6 years and I'm a type 1 I'm skinny and not overweight I also suffer with weakness in my legs and episodic foot drop now :/ to make things worse
