[QUOTE="catapillar, post: 1429685, member: 32394"] If you're not carb counting and on fixed doses you need to take the initiative learn about carb counting. Do the Bertie online course. Read think like a pancreas. Have some discussions with your DSN about adjusting your doses. This isn't something your consultant will teach you, the DSN should cover it and the information is out there for you to figure out how to make it work for you. Ask your DSN about it. Your fixed doses with meals will be covering a certain amount of carbs in those meals. If you suddenly add a chocolate bar but stay with the fixed dose obviously you'll go sky high from the uncovered carbs of the chocolate. I'd start with having a careful look at what your eating now with the fixed doses so you can work out how many grams of carbs those doses are covering for you and resulting in your good post prandial levels. That should help you work out your ratio while you learn a bit about carb counting and get to grips with it. [/QUOTE]
