Princess Linda, I'll throw this in the mix, too. I take lantus 2x a day, and I have to take into consideration how much each shot drops my BG on when deciding carb ratios. I have three different ratios, all based on what's going on with my basal at any given time. And I have lower ratios when I'm more active, and higher ratios when I'm not.
This whole manual pancreas thing is a lot of work!
