[QUOTE="phoenix, post: 657660, member: 12578"] [USER=84975]@akphoto[/USER] Your nurse is right with the insulin you are using. If you are using a mixed insulin you will have to vary your carbs according to the dose. It contains both the long term insulin to cope with the glucose your liver supplies between meals and the fast insulin to cope with meals. It can't be varied so if you need more long term insulin you may need more carbs as otherwise there may be too much of the rapid insulin The solution is to change to two separate insulins. I've agree with Brunneria and Robbity about spreading the carb load. Actually that has been advice for many years (consistent carbohydrates) and though I can vary my insulin to cope with the odd variation in meal pattern, I think that for me a regular pattern of intake with not too varying carbs at each meal works best.
