The right amount of insulin is whatever you need.Thanks. Can anyone explain how the Insulin units: grams of carbs ratio is calculated. Seems very important to get it right to take right amount of insulin.
That probably doesn’t sound very helpful but I know that my ratio change through the day and also need tweaking with the seasons. So currently I start the day with 1unit : 8.8g and by the evening 1:9.4 (I use a pump so can bolus in small increments and my pump works out the amounts once I have put the carbs in). I have got these figures by trial and improvement.
