[QUOTE="Claire007, post: 956917, member: 184290"] I'm in a similar situation. Started off with a bolus of 1:10 and 12 units (I think!) of basal AM & PM. I'm now on a ratio of 1:20 but always round down, and 3.5 units of levemir Pm and just 1.5 AM. My DSN said not to go below 1:20 without adjusting my basal and that the thinking now is that if the diabetes is aggressively controlled from diagnosis that the pancreas will continue to produce its own insulin. They used to have a more softly softly approach with just putting patients on background initially before introducing carb counting & bolus injections weeks later, but have found the honeymoon is prolonged if patients get good control from the off. She has had a few patients who have been recently diagnosed who have temporarily come off insulin altogether, and says its the first time in her career she's seen this happen. I'm no expert of course! Just relaying the advice I was given myself [/QUOTE]
