Hi Dano,
Thanks for the warm welcome!
I do a sliding scale (1 unit if BG is 100-150, 2 if 150-200, 3 if 200-250, etc.). I count carbs, my ratios are 1 unit / 12 g carbs at breakfast and 1 for 10 g carbs at lunch and dinner.
So for example, my BG was 141 at lunch. So I took 1 unit for my sliding scale, plus 6 for my carbs (Stupid lean cuisine egg roll - 59g carbs, bad choice!). So, 7 units total. This was 3 hours ago. I just tested and am at 224, was 254 about an hour ago.
I used to be on the insulin pump but went off it about 9 months ago. I needed a mental break, plus I was getting married and didn't want to be "hooked up" on my wedding day/honeymoon. So far it's been good for me, as you read, my a1c has come down. But I get concerned with these in between highs.
