[novorapid]

i'm kind of new to this to but for your information the insulin unit per carb, that i go by is 1 insulin unit per 10 grams of carbs, now some people may be different. so an example of this would be at lunchtime a tuna sandwich 2 slices of white bread 37grams of carbs that would be 3.7 units of insulin so we say 4 units the tuna itself 0 carbs, let say we drink an orange juice with that 1 glass approx 35 grams carbs so we need 3.5 units of insulin. so at lunch our bolus(fast acting insulin) will be a total of 7.5 units lets say 8 to make it a round number. hope this helps you understand the insulin to carb ratio a little better but remember you have to adjust yourelf to find what is best for you. good luck.
