[QUOTE="nigelho, post: 779236, member: 41170"] To be accurate on the carb counting, which I do, you need to know what ratios to use. For me I use 1 unit Apidra for 4.5 grams carbs generally. I sometimes vary this ratio from meal to meal depending on what I plan do do later on....activities.etc To find the ratio it's a bit of trial and error For me , a meal of 55 grams carbs I'd use 12 units Apidra..jusr devide 55 by 4.5. Why don't you try something like 1 unit quick acting insulin for 6 grams carbs. I then test 4 hours later as recommended by DAFNE programme. The DAFNE course should be a must for all type 1s as it teaches most of the HOWs and WHYs things happen and is done on a 1-1 basis in a small class of people. [/QUOTE]
