[QUOTE="EllieM, post: 2202890, member: 372717"] No :) So 21g increases by 3 mmol/L , therefore 21g for 1 unit of novorapid (call it 20g if you like). Dosing consists of 1) units for the carb you are about to eat - so try 1 unit per 20g 2) correction dose - if your blood sugar is say 9mmol/L pre meal and you want it to be 5mmol/L you'd take (9-5)/3 = 1.3 units as a correction. Obviously you have to round to nearest whole number. Good luck. [/QUOTE]
