[QUOTE="Deleted Account, post: 1465520"] Different insulin to carb ratios at different times of the day is not unusual. Just as it is very common to have different basal requirements at different times of the day. This is one of the major advantages of the pump over MDI. The best way to understand how your body works is to have a CGM or Flash monitor for a while. These can be expensive but Freestyle have been pushing the Libre (a flash monitor) so have been offering free trials. If you can get on one of these, this will give you 2 weeks of data to review. You may want to do something like monitor for 1 week, make some tweaks and then monitor for your second week. Regarding coffee, it is difficult to comment without knowing more. Milk contains carbs (although cream does not) so if you are having milky coffee this could explain why you need insulin. I drink herbal tea so cannot comment from experience. [/QUOTE]
