[QUOTE="EllieM, post: 2468460, member: 372717"] Hi [USER=164342]@tinka21[/USER] , I just gave your post a hug because I can't believe how inadequate the advice from your DN is. Are you counting carbs at all? As a T1. who produces none of her own insulin, I have a ratio of so many units for so many carbs, but individual ratios are massively variable (some people need 1 unit for 20g , others need 1 unit for 1g). As a T2, you may or may not be producing your own insulin (T2s typically start out overproducing but long term high blood sugars reduce your insulin production). So in theory you should be able to tweak your insulin amounts to make your blood sugar go back to normal before your next meal, but this is a question your DN should answer for you. Good luck. ps Having said that, maybe some insulin dependent T2s can give you better advice, [/QUOTE]
