Hi Kaylz,

I've not been in the latest diabolical circles for a while, so I don't understand what the 'Ratios' mean. I'm sure someone will fill me in with that info. However, Having been playing the game for nearly 62 years I've got into a regular 'fire fighting' routine with my BM ups and downs.

I agree with the advice you're getting, but notice you leave a ten minute gap between taking your Novorapid and eating your meal. I find Novorapid works immediately, so I fix then eat straight away.

You might want to try that unless you have been specifically told not to do that.

Ratio like 1:10 etc just 1 unit of insulin to 10g carbs etc 🙂, nice to meet you I don't remember coming across your name before, the DSN told me to wait 10 minutes after injecting before eating but if I'm at the low end of the scale I do tend to eat after 5 minutes do you have any other advice I may benefit from as you can probably see I am relatively new and trying to gather as much information as I possibly can, sorry if I'm bothering you x
