[QUOTE="rmz80, post: 1694255, member: 306547"] Most type 1 help leaflets quote using 1 unit of fast insulin per 10 grams of carb, but I found this was is just a starting point. You need to adjust the ratio(s) to work best for you. This is usually by trial and error; preferably in small increments. If id got an 18 on testing I would have gone to 1 unit per 9 grams the next day. Also I had different ratios for breakfast, lunch and dinner. At its extreme I was using br=5gr per unit, lun=3gr per unit and din=6gr per unit. I found splitting lunch into 2 parts (one at 10am and one at 2pm) meant I could reduce any spikes and the insulin.
