[QUOTE="Spiker, post: 513583, member: 102150"] You only need to count carbs for the purpose of insulin doses and ratios. Fats have no insulin requirements, and proteins have only a small requirement that is only a factor if you are on a low carb diet. ISF is purely about how much insulin you need to correct high BG. You can check this anytime you have a high BG. Take a corrective dose, eat nothing (and don't exercise much) for 4-5 hours. Then test again. Divide the reduction in BG by the units of insulin you injected for the correction. That's your ISF. So if you injected 2 units and your BG dropped 5 mmol/L, your insulin sensitivity factor is 2.5. Probably at the moment yours will be a lot lower, maybe around 1? Other terms get used apart from ICR and ISF but the concept is the same. [/QUOTE]
