[Diabetes-Talk] re a good tutorial or introduction on how to use rapid acting insulin as i have just been place on it for the first time

Bridget,
This message about how much Insulin is to be taken is not to be given on
this list!!!
National will shut down this list if we advise on how much Insulin to take,
when we do not have a medical degree!
If this amount of Insulin sends Gary in to a coma, you and the National
Federation of the Blind would very easily be sued!

Wow! Well, for now, maybe start with a basic 1/15 for meals. If you go high,
lower the amount as you see fit. May go down to 1/12. And of course, if you
go low after meals, go up, Maybe 1/18. So forth-and-so-on. I'm obviously not
a doctor, but if you're doc isn't going to provide a protocol, you can at
least try this.

Nope he did not recommend and that  is why I am trying to figure out an
optimal carb to insulin ratio .his approach was just add or subtract till
you have an  optimal range that you can work with .  which in my view isnot
he right answer to be givingsomeone who is diabetic on insulin.
