[QUOTE="Blackers183, post: 1324896, member: 113279"] Thanks ewelina. I'll have a look at the calculations I set up in a spreadsheet obtained from a document published in 2010 by Journal of Diabetes Science and Technology (lots of 'IF', 'AND' and 'OR' formulae) before deciding on next steps, I might have them wrong. The last comparison was 45gm CHO and 80gm protein (streak) for dinner (plus other green veggies of course). The polish calculation was 9 units insulin at meal time and 8 units 8 hours later. My normal calculation was 12 units of insulin and I only needed 1.5 units correction 8 hours later. Hence I'm seeing that the polish calculation would have been too much too late! It seems however that in practice others are doing similar to you so this is very valuable information. I have been considering a LCHP diet for some time but want to have a much clearer perspective on insulin doses first. (I used another logon for the question as I had trouble renewing my password) Cheers David T1 MDI 25 years [/QUOTE]
