Carb Ratio

[calzmom]

All of a sudden in the last few days I've been experiencing lows after meals. I've been bolusing with a 1:15 ratio and have for 8 years and all of a sudden it is getting me down to 60 after meals. Should I adjust to 1:20? Any suggestions. My endo is gone for the long weekend. I'll call him next week, but just wondering if there are any suggestions out there. Thanks!

I think your change may be a bit radical. I think I would try to do it in smaller increments and see how that works for you. Sometimes heat or more exercise will change your ratios a bit.

You could give that a try, but like Nancy mentioned it might be too much of a change. You could try it for a few meals and see how it works out and then adjust accordingly. It's not going to be "dangerous" as it might be going the other direction with the ratio. (Do plenty of finger sticks)

When I make adjustments I do it in increments of 2 at a time.

I adjust at 5---------YMW(ill)V.

My thinking being that I can eat 5 carbs and be ok but 10 on the edge, therefore I make adjustments of 5. (plus counting by 5s is easier to round off:proud: )
