[QUOTE="KK123, post: 2267364, member: 451727"] I would say work out whatever is right for YOU instead of adhering to some 'average' ratio. I understand that at first they have to give you a guideline ratio because we all have to start somewhere. However when you are happy and able to work out your own response then as LooperCat says, once you get your basal right the bolus is a lot more flexible and can be adjusted depending on what you eat, etc. As for the amount of carbs?, please yourself, some find fewer carbs are better for them and some find higher carbs can be coped with. Additionally, I find it's best to keep an eye on fasting levels as you go along just in case your basal needs change because of taking fewer bolus units to accommodate lower carbs. x [/QUOTE]
