[QUOTE="Heathenlass, post: 614582, member: 84861"] You are partly right, partly wrong :) Much of balancing insulin and carbs can be guesswork, it's a complicated algorithm of insulin ratio (time of day is a factor ), how long since last bolused with insulin, exercise taken, type of carb and how much fat you had with it and whether the stars are in the right alignment and the wind blowing from the right direction . So I would disagree we are more fortunate :eek: Get it wrong, we feel like death warmed up as we struggle to bring the BGL down, or else go so low we hypo and feel like death warmed up and fight to correct it.. Either way, it can lead to an immediate visit to A&E with Hypo coma or unconcious from DKA. Both possibly leading to death if untreated. We aim for the fine line between feeling like **** either way and keeping on an evenish keel. And that's for those who are well controlled :D Large doses of insulin to cover will cause weight gain over time, and I've heard it said it can cause insulin resistance . Once in a while it may do no harm, but it's not recommended on a regular basis ;) Signy [/QUOTE]
