Beth, I know we were chatting about this last night, but what do you use as a carb ratio?

It appears you took 1 unit of Humalog to fix the 14, which is fine, but then took another 6 a few hours later, and ate 40gs of carbs, correct?

I'm learning this week that my ratio appears to be about 0.07. So I take the carbs I'm eating, multiply it by 0.07 and dose that. So, for 40gs, I'd get 2.8, which i'd round up to 3.

If you took 6, PLUS walked to work, your sugars will drop a lot probably.......

Does this make sense?

In addition to all this, we should reduce insulin levels for exercise too, so I would gather a 30 minute walk would qualify......
