Ratio - have I calculated this right?

BG - 14.1
CP - 4
Ratio - 1.5:10
QA - 6+2

Ps if not I'd better get the jelly babies out eek!!

Sounds right to me Gill.

Might be easier for you, if you're counting in CPs, to express your ratios the same, i.e. 1.5:1 (rather than 1.5:10)?

So yes, for 4 CPs on 1.5:1 = 6 units

Phew! And thank you Carolin

what was the next meal time BG, if its occurred yet?

BG - 11.2 - lunch

So what went wrong do you think:

Ratio?
Correction?

Maybe the ratio should've been 2:10 (or 2:1). But then I'd be frightened of going hypo. I had 2 pieces of toast with 1 poached egg for breakfast when my BG was 14.1.

I would usually give 1:1 for correction and carbs, so to bring it down to 5.5 (which I have as my target) I would give 8.6 (correction) + 4 (meal) - 12.6 total. Obviously mkine will be different as it's 1:1 not 1.5:1.

Maybe you need to allow more for the correction? How is it going now?
