[QUOTE="Spiker, post: 560254, member: 102150"] Yes DAFNE advises no bolus below 10g carbs. This is one of the rules that makes the least sense to me. It seems to be pandering to needle - phobia. On DAFNE I can have 5 x 9gch snacks and bolus no insulin for 45gch. On DAFNE I can have a carb ratio of 1u:2gch and bolus no insulin for a snack that should be 4.5u of bolus insulin. DAFNE is simplistic but this is one of the most poorly thought out aspects. It would be much better if they had said "calculate the dose and if it's less than 1u, don't bother". But DAFNE also assumes we are arithmetic - phobic, or just plain innumerate. :-( [/QUOTE]
