[QUOTE="Emile_the_rat, post: 1930975, member: 301751"] Carbs count are important to keep good blood sugar values, and prevent huge flucations. You have to find your insulin-to-carb ratio, and here it is no correct answere. The insulin-to-carb ratio are different for everyone. And tell how many carbs you can count per unit of insulin. You should start to count carbs and how many units you’re taking. Say you eat 15g carbs and take 1 unit (this gives an insulin-to-carb ratio of 1:15) If your blood sugar are still too high your insulin-to-carb ratio should probably be lower, and you need more insulin. If it has to be lower you can try 10g carbs per unit, insulin-to-carb ratio: 1:1. Insulin-to-carb ratio can also be as low as 1:0.5, maybe even lower. While for others it can be way higher. I have a ratio of 1:2, but thats because I am not total insulin dependent. It is very important to find your insulin-to-carb ratio to accomplish good blood sugar control :) Edit: I kind of assumed you were type 1 because of carb count. Sorry if I assumed wrong, and my answere weren’t that helpfull :) [/QUOTE]
