[QUOTE="EllsKBells, post: 1446394, member: 338121"] [USER=74883]@SugarBuzz[/USER] hopefully you will get some answers from someone more knowledgeable than me, but RE the food packets, you want the total carbs, so in your example it would be the 23g you are looking at. If you are having a lot of hypos, are you sure your ratios are correct? A basal test would probably be a good place to start. In theory, a carb is just a carb, but you may find with meals that are particularly fatty, or low in carb and high in protein, it is more of an art than a science, but the first thing to do is to get your ratios sorted and your basal correct. When your basal is sorted, you can look at your ratios, which ideally your DSN should be helping you with. Hope some of that helps. Can you tell us a little bit more about when the hypos are happening? [/QUOTE]
