- Very happy to hear the good news & glad I could help some.
Cheating--I hear ya. Cheat now, freak out 2 hours later.
I HATE it, too. I really do.

- He wasn't clear at all! It's confusing to begin with without him making it worse.

- My email address: glass@psknet.com. A lot easier than us having to keep going to each other's pages.

- Forget that exchange stuff. No one does that any more. But if he meant exchanges, than that's a lot more than 16 grams for the whole day. A lot more!
You really eating this tiny amount of carbs? I can't imagine your BG being that high eating like this.

- Ok, let's start again:) It is confusing & will try to unconfuse you.
Endo started you on 1 unit of Humalog for every 15 grams of carbs. Now, it's been raised to 1 unit of Humalog for every 10 grams of carbs. If you eat 50 grams of carbs at a meal (which I don't recommend), you'll take 5 units of insulin (plus sliding scale correction dose). Total carbs divided by 10--very simple.
How many carbs do you now eat per meal?
I take a lot more insulin, but you're Type 2 (maybe). Type 2s need less insulin than Type 1. I eat low carb, but 58% of protein turns to glucose so you have to be careful about this part. Talk about confusing!

- This makes no sense. Maybe you misunderstood him? One carb doesn't equal 15 grams. A carb is a carb, a gram is a gram. Carbs are measured in grams.
Maybe you're confusing two different things--insulin doses & carbs.
How many grams of carbs did he say you should eat per meal? I've never heard an endo tell anyone to eat 5-6 carbs per meal. Even very low carb isn't this low.
What did you eat for lunch & dinner today?

- I have no idea what 5 carbs equaling 15 grams means. This makes no sense. Really, 15 grams of what? You're only eating 5-6 grams of carbs per meal? This is barely possible.

- Nope, if you eat 50 (assuming you meant 50, not 5) grams of carbs you need 5 units of Humalog. Total carbs per meal divided by 10, plus whatever you're taking as a correction to bring down BG.

- Yep, you've got it! Totals grams per meal divided by 10 for Humalog. To lower high BG, 1 unit Humalog for each 50 pts you need to lower it.
One thing, you'd better not be eating 75 grams of carbs at a meal. Hope that was just an example.
Next appt, ask for free insulin samples. Endos have tons.
