So because I had read so much about carb counting, I asked the nurse to show me the basics... The rest is trial and error working out your tolerances and needs. I know I need more insulin at breakfast (dawn phenomenon I suppose as breakky is always v low carb), than I do at dinner. Breakfast ratio is 1:7.5, by dinner its 1:10 or even 1:15 (depends what I have and how I know it will effect me). Keeping a food diary is really helping me right now too, as I can track any unusual readings and often pinpoint the problem foods.Good luck! We will conquer this fecking disease and get there... It's just so demoralizing sometimes. I hate having to carry around all this kit, but worry myself to death if I leave the house without it! Sending you a virtual hug right now xx</blockquote>
