[Talia]

[Talia]

Talia is fairly recently diagnosed as in end of last year so also has to contend with the honeymoon period, which as we all know will also cause extra hypos as her pancreas splutters to a halt.
My personal view is far to much insulin is being used at the moment. So in discussion with her team she needs to have a good look at her carb ratio and pos go as far as halving it whilst doing so much exercise. (Her intro stated adjusting her basal caused her to be high) It would be interesting to know how many carbs Talia is using to treat the hypos and her carb ratio.

my ratios are
7 morning
14 lunch
12 tea
8 levemeir. i usually have about 15g to treat a hypo🙂

Hi Talia

When you give those figures, are they the doses in units (that you dial up on your pen)? Or do they relate to the food you are eating (1 unit for every 7g of carbs in the morning)?

Has your team given you help/advice in matching the doses of insulin you take to the amount of grams of carbs you are eating at each meal, or are you taking fixed doses and not measuring the amount of carbs you are eating? (Different teams start people off on different systems)
