[QUOTE="CelalDari, post: 2267337"] Apparently around 50% of your insulin should be from basal and the remaining from bolus. I take 16u Lantus and adjust my NovoRapid to my meals. When using a 1:10 ratio, I am recommended 160g of carbs a day. Is this not too high? I’m thinking of going lower, doing 120g, 20g breakfast, 60g lunch, 40g dinner Also some negligible amounts of carbs from snacks (nuts and seeds) which I don’t count into the daily allowance because there is no effect on blood glucose (personally) [/QUOTE]
