[QUOTE="LooperCat, post: 1737275, member: 468055"] I was put straight onto Insulatard and Actrapid at diagnosis in 1998, but with no instructions on adjusting dose, carb counting or anything like that. I was told to take a certain amount of basal before bed, 8 units of bolus 45 minutes before a meal and to make sure all my meals were at least 50% starchy food. I fairly quickly took a little more or less according to what my plate of food looked like, but was constantly on a glucose rollercoaster. I did DAFNE in 2010, and it was very useful - I still use the principles I learned, even though I eat very few carbs now. The course isn’t just about carbs in food, it’s about fiddling with your insulin to give you a much more normalised BG level. [/QUOTE]
