[QUOTE="BlaiseS, post: 1142101, member: 294456"] Thank you everyone for your replies! [USER=39639]@azure[/USER] I will certainly be looking up that book! I keep saying to my Mum that I am my pancreas now and not to worry about how much insulin I'm injecting as it's what my pancreas would have given me anyway if it didn't decide to go on a permenant holiday. [USER=88961]@AndBreathe[/USER] it is possible that some of my care may be transferred to Leicester due to how often I'm there and for any emergency situations that may arise, so it's nice to know they are active and may provide support - especially when I am alone. [USER=21149]@Daibell[/USER] I started carb counting less than a week after I was discharged from hospital after just one appointment with a nutritionist. I've found my insulin: carb ratio is 3:10 for breakfast/ lunch and 2:10 for dinner or any snacks higher than 15g. The nutrionist only mentioned going up to 2:10 but I felt that waiting 4 months until my next appointment to ask her was ridiculous. I haven't needed any correction doses since going up to 3:10 and have yet to have a hypo so I guess I'm doing it right. I take Novorapid with meals and Lantus at night - which is a bit stingy - but I've read that's normal due to it's acidity. Thank you all so much again! [/QUOTE]
