[QUOTE="JAT1, post: 1968264, member: 490842"] At first, even though I was following the doctor's prescription, my BS was skyrocketing and by metering before the meal and 2 hours after I realized who all the culprits were. Dr Bernstein has been a huge influence on me, so I have wanted to stay with low doses of insulin. At times I have been as low as 3 units but my BS resulted too high. I don't count carbs first and then decide how much to take because that's not how the endo prescribed (I'm suspicious of her but still uncertain to just totally go my own way) so I take my dose and then eat the amount of carbs I need (I noticed that my insulin to carb ration is 1:10) In between meals I only eat cheese. I don't meter often any more because it's too expensive for my budget. I eat fruit before exercise and before bed and during the night because I will wake up feeling awful and I don't have the energy to meter. After a bit of fruit I always feel so much better. [/QUOTE]
