You don't need to know how much you go up without insulin, you need to find out how much insulin to use for what foods!So test bg and write down, inject as usual (and note amount of insulin), eat (note what you've eaten or amount of carbs), test again some 2 hours after starting eating, (note). After a couple of days, if you see you're ending up too high or too low after, say lunch, every day, you'll know something's off with the dose for that meal. So X insulin with Y carbs is too much (or too little) insulin. If you find you have meals where the amount of insulin is exactly right you only have to work out the carbs in that meal to know how much insulin per how much carbs did the trick. But don't expect it to work out exactly as you predicted every time, it won't!Good luck!</blockquote>
