I don't know if I've done right or wrong and now that I'm getting better with all my maths tuition 🙂 I've replied to the email with.....
1.5 units per 10 grams of carbs would be a lot more insulin than 1 unit per 8 grams of carbs though
For 1.5 units per 10 grams of carbs (1.5:10)
36g of carbs for the meal divided by 10g = 3.6 x 1.5 = 5.4 units of insulin
For 1 unit per 8 grams of carbs (1:8)
36g of carbs for the meal divided by 8g = 4.5 units of insulin
so I would've thought the 1:8 would be much better than the 1.5:10
