Ratios

How often can ratios be changed?

If I was on a 1:10 or 1.5: 10.......ratio do I have to wait for 3 or 4 days before I change it again?

Hi. I believe you wait for indication to show consistency over 2 days before increasing the QA ratio but if dealing with hypos then can change the ratio for the next time you have that meal, be it breakfast, lunch or evening meal.

This assumes that the BI doses are not being changed at the same time. When making a BI change, I normally wait 2-3 days at least before making any further changes

You should wait to see what that recent change has done to your blood sugars, even if you think you should of went for more or less.......

Its a good habit to get in to, its methodical and helps.........
