[QUOTE="leggott, post: 167152, member: 20065"] Hi. It will be a bit of trial and error to start with to get the ratios right and 1:25 seems a good starting point. You may well find that the ratios are different at each meal time. I personally do weigh a lot of things, but you don't need to weigh things like yogurts as the pot will have a total value, You find that most foods are labelled and over time you get to know the carb values of different foods. There is an excellent book which I think is so useful, especially when out. it is called 'carbs & cals'. you can also get an iPhone ap for it. It is a visual guide which I have found to be very accurate. Finally, I suggest keeping a food diary so you can see what different types of foods do to bg. I'm sure that overtime you will find the basal/ bolus regime to be a lot more flexible than the mixed insulin and should also allow you to get tighter control. leggott. [/QUOTE]
