Yes everyone is different. If I am eating a bowl of porridge (and I mean the large flake kind), or a slice of stone milled whole wheat bread, or kidney beans, veggies, etc.) I don't bolus at all as they are all low GI foods. However, for the occasional cookie, or piece of cake, or any high sugary foods, my ratio is 1:4 unless I am low to start with - then it's 1:7. For correction dosages I need 1 unit for every mmo/L. So if I am 11 I would correct by 5 units to get to 6. Whatever works
