[QUOTE="Alzibiff, post: 107679, member: 22320"] Kegstore, Ahhh - 'tis me misreading your post - sorry. I have my bolus wizard set up with exchanges so my "ratios" settings are numbers like 1.8 and 1.6. Meaning that for every exchange, which in my case is 10g of carb, I take 1.8u or 1.6u depending on the time of day. So.... my ratio - using the proper format is 1:1.8 or 1:1.6 (the '1' being a carb exchange and the other number, units of insulin). When you wrote 1:14 and 1:8, I was misreading the ':' as a decimal point. So... if I have it right, you are using 1 unit of insulin for 14g of carb at some times of the day and 1 unit of insulin for 8g of carbs at others - is that right? Phew - not only is there a difference in BG readings - us with mmol/l and those across the pond using something else, we have variations when it comes to expressing our insulin:carb ratios! Alan (does any of that make sense to anybody other than me I wonder!) [/QUOTE]
