My insulin to carb ratio is much lower, and I know people with much higher. So this is not neccessarily true.
You can work out your rough ratio with a rule of thumb and adjust from there...
Total Daily Dose / 50 = u p/10g Carb (says my diabetes Doctor anway)
This has worked very well for me.
My ratio is 0.5u/10g.
