[QUOTE="Spiker, post: 513576, member: 102150"] Hi Khalifa 120 isn't a magic number :-) It's the amount of Novorapid you said you were taking with each meal. You basically have the right approach which is to figure out how much it takes to get you back down to your pre-meal BG. The main thing I would say is not to test after 2 hours. Test after 4. Any decisions you make about ICR or ISF should be made 4 or even 5 hrs after injection. Before 4-5 hours your Novorapid is still working and still reducing your blood sugar. The ICR is then just the number of grams of carbs on the meal, divided by the number of units of insulin needed to get you back to the pre-meal BG. In your case it looks like 108 gch / 120 Novorapid, or just below 1:1. That's a very high ratio. While everyone is different, 1:10 is more typical. Your ratios will all probably come down as you switch to a healthier lifestyle. If you are in the UK, request a DAFNE course. Or try the online carb counting course suggested above. Just want to check if you are using 100u per ml insulin? Some countries use 1000u per ml insulin. [/QUOTE]
