Russell,
I know exactly what you are talking about. I have the same problem as you do. The lower my BG is, the less insulin I need. And the difference is substantial. It makes calculating a carb ratio very difficult. Especially in the morning as the Dawn Phenomenon effect adds to the confusion. While I count carbs, I have reverted to "eyballing" a meal and guessing how much insulin I need, based on various factors but especially the current blood glucose level. I have found the best way to deal with this uncertainty in the morning is to simply avoid carbohydrate altogether at breakfast time.
