[QUOTE="KK123, post: 2252981, member: 451727"] I'm glad you enjoyed it! As others have said, just be careful about 'stacking' insulin, ie when you take your insulin for the snack just take account of the last insulin you may have taken, ie for a meal you may have had an hour before or 2/3 hours ago, as that will still be on board (it stays around for around 5 hours). Also, on my course they said most people don't need to take insulin if the carby snack is under 15 carbs so bear that in mind too. Other than that you will find your own regime and will soon become experienced with 'snacking', as I say just keep testing. x [/QUOTE]
