[QUOTE="Circuspony, post: 2403761, member: 432241"] A detailed diary is essential when you first start on insulin. Food (exact portions inc weight), time of day, BG before you eat and 2 hours after, insulin dosage etc. I have a very different insulin to carb ratio at breakfast than dinner for instance. If i am planning on exercising then I need a 75% reduction It's also worth noting that not all carbs act the same. For me 50g carbs of bread vs 50g carbs of potatoes need different insulin dosages. I would need about 5 units for the bread and half that for the spuds. Trial and error!!! [/QUOTE]
