catlover said… - Thanks for the insulin: carb info. I remembered that I was taught using intermediate insulin mixed with rapid acting and taking 2 shots a day. Lantus wasn't created then. I will try to find the proper ratio for me, and work from there. I really appreciate your help.

- Hi Gerri-You seem pretty knowledgeable about insulin:carb ratio. That wasn't being taught when I was Dx'ed. I basically count carbs and base my insulin on how many carbs I plan to eat along with my BG at that mealtime. I guess it is working for me because my A1c's
have always been between 6.2-6.6. If you have any time to briefly go over the ratio I would
appreciate it. Hope you are having a "sweet day."

- I got your message today. Around here the cat problem is the same. We (husband & I)
adopted 2 cats last April. Maggie (female) and Zorro (Male), of course they are fixed. My
friend runs the shelter, it is a bungalow for the cats. They adopted out 4 last week to forever
homes. Hope to talk again soon.

Domo! said… - thanks for you comment, yep i'm 4units for every ten carbs. It is kinda high... i think my new medicine might be the reason. I started with 1:10 but it wasn't enough! Four is my magic number right now.
