I've worked out mu total carbs is 110.1g my ratio is 2units per 10g where do I go from here. I keep getting muddled.

All I've done it added up my carbs nothing else.

I've worked it out to be 55 units am i right?

Hi Lou

divide the 110 by 10 and then times by 2

110/10=11
11x2 = 22

so you need 22 units. That is quite a lot of carbs - what are you having?

Hi Lou,
Rachel is right. But it might be easier for you to do if you change the way you work it out from 2/10 to 1 unit for every 5 carbs - it means the same but its easier to work out. So for every 5 carbs you eat you need 1 unit. Are you having the fajhitas tonight?🙂Bev

Dont mean to pry but are you having anything else with your fajitas, as there are ~20g of Carb per wrap (the discovery ones) so you would have to be having quite a lot to get to 110g of carbs.

We are new to carb counting too. Takes some getting used to. I end up going over my workings out about 3 times before I trust my answer!! Do you need to give any insulin as a correction as well?

 

[smile4loubie]

Yeah i did. I check my answers 3 times and still come up with a different answer everytime lol. i know my correction is 1 unit will bring me down about 2 mmol

Lou I think you first came to 55 units because before you were using a different ratio, but you've obviously changed it, fine tuning to what you need! Well done 🙂 Hope you enjoy your wraps!
