[QUOTE="iHs, post: 171949, member: 8799"] Hi Susie It does get better once you figure out how many carbs you can eat at each meal time so that your bg levels start to fall in the ok region. Humalog Mix 25/75 might be better for you as it has slightly less fast action to it than 30/70 but has a bit more in the way of longer acting. I think you are going to be a bit confused on the forum as quite a lot of people use bolus/basal so we all inject insulin to the carb that we eat because it is fast and short acting, whereas you have to tackle your bg levels in a different way and adjust the carb you eat. Some can do it by eating 'little and often' and test 6 times a day so that they can see if the carb that they eaten is ok, too much or too little. Once you regulate the amount of carb that you eat by testing bg, you should be much happier and less bewildered. Ask your dsn the importance of regulating your carb intake with twice daily insulins only she/he should have explained things to you. [/QUOTE]
