Great examples of why each individual needs to figure out his/her rapid-acting insulin to carb ratio!
Stephanie, do you have access to a certified diabetes educator? To learn carb counting, you also can ask about a referral for Medical Nutrition ...
Thanks :)
Thanks:)
Stephanie,
I was started on the exact same insulin regime that you are on. With time I was able to change it (with my doctors) to a system that Melissa described. Now I take 1 unit of insulin for every 13g of carb. That means that if I want to ha...
Same here. 15 carbs, without insulin, would send me at least 150 pts higher. I need only small amounts to correct highs.
Thank you for taking the time to talk to me about all of this:) I do not have anyone to talk to about all of these things, and it means so much to me to have this site to go to, and have such supportive people that are just like me to talk to. Wit...
Stephanie, you are asking great questions. You are on a very standard (but very primitive) dosing schedule that they start MANY type 1s on. Right now, you may not see tight control as they work these factors out. All of this may or may not change ...

Thanks for joining my group...Belles with Betes. I am not sure where I am going with it. I am new to this site myself. I just joined a couple of days ago.
I see you are new to diabetes as well. Hang on...it's a helluva ride. It takes alot of patience and prayer! I think this site is a positive step for both of us!
Good Luck~

- Diabetes can be an isolating disease especially since it's up to us to manage it. But since you have joined Tudiabetes you are not alone we are here to help each other. Getting all the information you can will help for better management. Not just here will you find resources but one of the best resources is a CDE (Certified Diabetes Educator)...education is the key to living a healthier live with Diabetes.

Bernard said… - Hi Stephanie
Welcome onboard. I hope you get all your questions answered here. Do check out the US Southeast group here. Maybe you meetup with some other folks with diabetes and learn some tips to dealing with diabetes effectively.
I wish you a wonderful New Year, one where diabetes adds to it rather thank taking away from anything.
