 carb ratio's
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Now I know everyone is different and different foods require a different ratio to others. But until recently I hadn't come across ratio my food to insulin (old time trained and liittle to do with diabetic communities) I'm trying to nail this down and started on a 10 - 1 ratio, sometimes this is fine if my bs is 7 (126 ) or above. However if its below that I need to increase the ratio up to 15 or 20 - 1. I had a bowl of porridge for breakfast in the week, my bs before it was 6.4 (115.2) an hour and a half later it was down to 3.8 (68.4) Carb value of porridge was 25.3, units of insulin taken 2.
What ratio's do you guys aim at in your normal day to day diets ? do you change the ration on your bs reading ?
