[QUOTE="Sid Bonkers, post: 336340, member: 19121"] Hi fencer and welcome to the forum. It will depend on a number of factors, how much insulin resistance you have, your pancreatic function ire how much of your own insulin you are producing and how many carbs you are eating as it is carbohydrates that turn to glucose and raise blood glucose. Your nurses advice is OK do not be tempted to up your units by more than 2u per day or you could be at risk of hypos. You could help your insulin by reducing the amount of carbs you are eating as well, but again do it gradually or you may be at risk of hypos again. It is a fine balancing act so slowly does it when you get the right balance of carbs and insulin you will see better numbers but it can take some tweaking. And if you do start to get any very high or very low numbers do phone your doctors and ask their advice :thumbup: Good luck. There is some useful information given to new members that you may find to be of benefit click this link [url=http://www.diabetes.co.uk/diabetes-forum/viewtopic.php?f=39&t=26870]viewtopic.php?f=39&t=26870[/url] [/QUOTE]
