[QUOTE="Rebecca.., post: 291109, member: 44047"] I inject 1 unit of insulin for 10g carbs. I haven't worked out my ratio's for different times of the day as nobody has gone through this with me at the diabetes clinic, could this maybe be why i am gaining weight so much? I usually inject 3 units to cover my cereal as i worked it out to be 32g and 2 hours later my levels havent risen so i know i have got that right. I then would have chicken and a mixed salad for lunch so i don't inject with that, the same applies for tea as i never eat carbs for tea i usually will have another salad with tuna or chicken so i don't inject with that either. If i am still hungry after my tea i will have a cereal bar as a snack which is 2 units of insulin as the cereal bars i have are 17g carbs, or i will have a banana which in my book is 27g carbs so i would inject 3 units with that. Most days i eat pretty much the same as this so i rarely inject more than 6 units of humalog a day Thanks for your replies x [/QUOTE]
