[QUOTE="Jeremy.M, post: 2403442, member: 522049"] Thank you for the response. Both my GP and endo are aware that I had readopted a low calorie keto diet for the time being. I was assuming she made the 4 units, 3 units and 5 units for breakfast, lunch and dinner respectively with my extremely low carb intake in mind. I've been consuming less than 20g of net carbs with each meal. However, if a starting ratio of 1 unit to 10g of carbs is a typical for those beginning insulin treatment, perhaps I should give my endo another call and revisit this topic with her. My endo never told me how much carbohydrates I should be consuming with each meal, but she did ask what was recommended to me by the dieticians I visited back in 2020. They recommended that I consume at least 30g of carbs per meal. However, their recommendations were based on the assumption that I was a type 2 diabetic that was being treated with metformin, thus I'm not sure whether my worsening carb tolerance and new diagnosis as a type 1 since then changes things. Other than having high blood sugar, high cholesterol levels (which seems to ascend and descend in accordance with whatever my HbA1c is) and an abysmally low net carb intake, I do actually have healthy lifestyle habits so I suppose I can cease worrying about insulin resistance. I think I'll try to set my sights on 7 mmol/l for the time being and then worry about attaining better control over my blood sugar once I become more familiar with the dosing process. Your post has made me feel a bit more at ease. Thank's again! [/QUOTE]
