[QUOTE="mrman, post: 348795, member: 40510"] Should be correct as when I eat I use my insulin to carb ratio to calculate how many units of qa I need. Eg eat 50 carbs with a 1 to 10 ratio I would use 5 units. If I ate 0 carbs I would not insulate. There are factors though which might require insulin for 0 carbs as when protein is eaten your body releases glycogen to break it down thus putting sugar in your blood. However this should have minimal impact. I would never insulate for a carb free meal unless it was to correct high sugar before my meal. Also of your base is out you might rise for a no carb meal un knowingly using qa to counter act. That is why it is important to now and again do daytime fasts to check base.
