Hi I hope everyone is well and enjoying themselves,I have a question
I take 12 units of slow acting and inbetween 12 and 14 units of quick
I have worked very hard to keep my requirements at the same level after reading about the insulin trap.I get very hungry sometimes to the point where I feel that I have a eating disorder as I watch my weight.
My consultant has told me that if I can keep my weight and insulin requirement the same I can control better,My ratio is 21 grams to 1 unit so if I have a sarnie its two units 3 for breakfast and about 6 or 7 for tea,I am starting to correct on a night so my quick is going up but if I adjust my slow I get hypo a lot.
The nurse said that there are children who take more than me,what sorts of numbers do you take I am not overweight and exercise.
I dont know why but do you take less or more
hoping that I get some replys
