[QUOTE="copepod, post: 188462, member: 21372"] DAFNE (Dose Adjustment For Normal Eating) works on the principle of carbohydrate ratios, which very between people and the same person may have different ratios are different times of day, on training, non training days etc. Startin point is 1 unit short acting insulin per 10g carbohydrate, then tweeks to achieve the individual ratios. The other issue is basal dose - depenind on which you are taking, this dose can be changed every 12 hours (eg if you take Humalin I twice a day) to every 3 days (eg if you take Lantus or Levemir once every 24 hours), although some people change their Lantus or Levemir doses more often.
