So you determine these ratios by taking "x" amount of insulin and if it doesn't give you the expected post-meal results you increase your insulin by a few increments each time until there's very little variance after meals?

I'm just thinking that as a T2 i'll eventually end up on insulin, and the T2s I know of who are on insulin basically take just 1-2 shots a day...which is much less than that taken by most everyone here on insulin. Are the needs of a T2 on insulin going to be different than that of a T1?
