New type1 - carb counting ratios confusion

Welcome to the forum @Wonky. As you have found there is plenty of experience to tap into.

I started by being incredibly precise (a mathematicIan) with my carb counting. It helped me to learn a lot about carbs, but as our equipment is not totally precise I have gradually let up a bit. That is easy to say a few years in.

A half unit pen will be very useful to you with your sensitivity to insulin, especially in the early stages.

Thanks to you all for such quick and detailed responses. I have done a basal test but only during the day and it seems steady with following the fasting etc but need to do again overnight. I take 4units of Tresiba at night. Have not managed to do more basal testing due to having to wake at night and get up early for work but need to do at the weekend maybe. I don't have a half unit pen but that sounds great. Good to have someone to talk to. My numbers are mostly within target of 4 to 10 hut on a very low carb intake sp far. Am a bit too nervy maybe of going high or low. Still a bit bamboozled by the sudden diagnosis!

Hi @Wonky, very late in the day in spotting this - not sure why but ....

You will see in my recent reply to your current thread that you can't make Tresiba fit different periods of the day. Sorry I didn't pick this up in March /April - might have saved you some hassle more recently.
