Hi
I'm wondering if anybody could explain how to calculate an insulin to carb ratio? It's not for me but for someone else.
He takes large amounts of insulin and keeps gaining weight and wants to have a go at low carbing but I don't know how to advise him on adjusting his insulin when he starts to cut the carbs as I don't know what his insulin/carb ratio is and neither does he.
At present he just takes the same doses every meal as laid down by his doctor. His current HbA1c is around 10.
thanks
Goji
