My endo is on board with what im doing as its resulted in a non diabetic a1c so despite 20 years of being diabetic im without complications (atm).

My insilin toncarb ratio varies from 1:5 to 1:30 with 1:15 being my average depending on activity level n state ofnhealth if ill then 1:5 is common.

My correction factor is 1 unit per 10 over base. So if 6 (106) 0 correction but if 7 () 1 unit is needed for correction. If 10 (180) then 6 units would be needed to correct to my base.
