[QUOTE="wmcquade, post: 1645885, member: 360194"] Wolfhound I recently bought book from diabetes .co.uk carb and calorie counter. In this book it gives the carb value every type of food even fast chain junk. I was taught to take 1 unit of insulin for every 10 carbs, therefore a meal with 200 carbs would mean an insulin dose of 20 units. I was also informed that correctional doses should be calculated on a 1to 2 ratio, I.e. Mmol reading of 12 would mean a correctional insulin dose 3 units, acceptable levels blood sugar 5-8mmol so 3 units of insulin would bring level down to six, within 5-8 mmol. 3x2=6 mmol 12-6=6. Hope this helps m8. [/QUOTE]
