Hi,

Does anyone know how often (i:c) insulin to carb ratios can be changed - daily / after 3 or 4 days / after a week?

Thanks for any replies 🙂

On the DAFNE course I went on, they said you shouldn't change a ratio unless you've seen the need for it twice. Also that you should only change one at a time, eg the breakfast ratio. Then you should observe twice and see whether it's achieved the desired effect before adjusting it again.
 
Well you shouldn't change more than one thing at a time ever. Unless of course you are like mega hypo and change both basal and bolus !
