Just curious what ratios of insulin to 10g of carb people are on? I'm currently tweeting mine and finding it hard to get it right!
 
Loads of different ones, 1 unit is a good starting point, then tweak to suit, adjusting for carb size, gi of mask, activity, illness etc.
If you go to low, try 1 ~12 next time, too high try 1~8. No set answer.
Other factors to be wary of is you're of day, often people have diff ratios at diff meal times. Also if you miss a meal may impact your ratios fur the next one

I didn't know that if u miss a meal it impacts the next one. I'm about to go up to 2 units per 10g for morning and lunch. Seems like a lot to me but I keep getting ridiculous highs. It's really getting me down but I see my nurse next week!
 
Are you on a pump now Sarah? I've just done a carb counting course and hope to be referred for a pump now.
