It takes a bit of trial and error to find these rates, but once you do, you can eat!

Be aware that typically larger meals affect the ratios. You may need more insulin for larger meals than smaller ones.

Wow, and I thought I was insulin sensitive in the morning! My doctors made a huge deal out of the fact that I need a 1u-8g for breakfast... I guess it isn't uncommon to need quite a bit more insulin in the AM

Yesterday I did around 30u for both a nasty high (failed set) and a big company breakfast.

This is really both annoying, inconvenient and simply just a pain in the backside... but for the past few days i've been very hungry before sleep I've been known to eat A LOT at 1am or something like that this week I really have no idea why... but what the heck... nothing a few of units of Novorapid can't handle Though i take a unit or 2 less than i'd take in daytime, to not risk going low overnight... Guess you could call this extreme hunger too I normally don't feel hungry before sleep...
