Guest guest Posted May 25, 2005 Report Share Posted May 25, 2005 Did you notice it? I did. I even went back to a former message you sent to show you what you said. So take a long look at it and let me know what you think. Here it is: " Humalog 7 and 33 carb grams, which is a 1:4.7 ratio.

Guest guest Posted May 26, 2005 Report Share Posted May 26, 2005 Most flour products are made from wheat. This includes bread and crackers as well as practically all pastas.

Guest guest Posted May 26, 2005 Report Share Posted May 26, 2005 Humalog 5 and 20 grams of carbs is a 1:4 ratio. You noticed the pre-supper bs reading of 7.3, and you knew it needed to go down. I think it will depending on your insulin sensitivity, which the U factor is the measure of.

Guest guest Posted May 26, 2005 Report Share Posted May 26, 2005 My 12 year old niece has type 1 diabetes and was having constant hypo's, severe constipation and many other things were going wrong. Food that use to sustain her at meal times wasn't holding and her sugar level would plummet. For example bread, cereal, pasta she had just wouldn't keep her levels up even though she had consumed what we would consider large quantities. She has had a blood test for it and apparently there are three things that must show up in the blood test result before they then consider a bowel biopsy to confirm that she has Celiacs. At this stage she is showing 2 and we are waiting to see if my niece has another bad episode of hypo's to see what step they want to take next. It also doesn't help with her being such a picky eater and only like certain brands of foods, they have to be cooked a special way. Potatoes are a prime example we may eat mashed potato but she will only eat them whole. Oh man! I have never consider that I could get Celiacs and it is still possible for me to get it anytime in the future.

Guest guest Posted May 26, 2005 Report Share Posted May 26, 2005 Your fasting bs is too low. I still think you need to reduce that Lantus dose from 8 units to 7 units, but it is your body. Something keeps making you have low bs readings in the morning. I wonder if it could be that Lantus dose? Humalog 4 and 28 carb grams is a 1:7 ratio, which shoots your bs high. I am just going to think out loud here for a moment. What if you wanted to reach a bs reading of 7.0 moles and you started with a 3.1 mole reading. So you ate 28 grams of carbs. Now how many carbs does 4 grams make your bs rise. As I recall it raises your bs by 1.9 points. So what is 3.1 from 7.0? The difference is 3.9 mole points. It takes about 8 grams of carbs to raise your bs to a reading of 7.0 from a 3.1 bs reading. So I ate 28 grams of carbs and I need 8 of these grams of carbs to get me to the target of 7.0. So I need to dose for 28 grams minus the 8 grams, which means I have to dose enough Humalog to deal with 20 grams of carbs. If my ratio is 1:5 this means I need to dose just 4 units of Humalog. If I am using the decimal dosing method I would multiply 20 times 0.211, which gives an answer of 4 plus a little more in units needed, so I round off the dose to the nearest whole number which appens to be 4. So I would merrily eat my 28 grams of carbs knowing I can reach my target goal by dosing just 4 units of Humalog, which will get me near to my target goal. This is what I would recommend because you can use your C factor and your dosing ratio of 1:5 or your decimal dosing factor of 0.211 to make this determination. But using a sliding scale prescribed by the doctor is going to shoot your bs higher, and probably much higher than 7.0.

Guest guest Posted May 26, 2005 Report Share Posted May 26, 2005 That is a good pre-lunch reading of 7.2. Did you exercise some? Humalog 5 and 30 carb grams is a 1:6 ratio.
