Hi Ander, I TB.I was afraid of glucometer a long time:-/: Oops:
To write down what you eat and the controls is not a bad idea, anyway if they are good, more or less around 100, you will know that the basal you have well adjusted and if the posts are high or low you will know that you haveTo adjust the fast more, sometimes when you run a lot, you also enter a weird circle, high-correction-hypipo-source-high ... try not to put many variables in a few days until you adjust the guideline, and find the amount ofFast that you have to get a ration ... Do you know the diet for portions? If that is, you have it easy ... I give you an extract of an article for which it explains how to calculate it:
treatment in people with conventional insulin therapy and intensified treatment
The big difference between these types lies in adjusting the amount of fast or ultra -grape insulin according to the amount of food ingested, calculating what is called bolus by consumption and correction bolus.These adjustments allow flexibility in meals and their schedules.
Those who maintain conventional treatment must add injections, whether fast or ultra -grape insulin to maintain their stable blood glucose;While those who have intensified treatment will only change the dose.
Those people who are handled with NPH and make adjustments with crystalline, must do collations so that hypoglycemia in the periods of maximum action of the insulin NPH do not occur.If treated with fast or ultra -grape insulins, collations will not be necessary unless your medical team recommends them.
Insulin-carbohydrates ratio: It is the amount of rapid or ultra-grape insulin units that are required to metabolize so many grams of carbohydrates consumed by each meal.
Usually in adults the ratio is 1 fast or ultra -grape insulin unit for every 15 gr of carbohydrates.
In children it becomes 1 insulin unit every 20 or 30 gr carbohydrates.
This relationship depends on the sensitivity to insulin that each person has, to the presence of attached diseases, in weight and age.Even in some people it varies according to the time of day.
Since every person uses different doses there is a rule to define the relationship between what consumes per day and the number of units.
The rule to define the relationship would be: rule 500
The total insulin dose that the person receives in 24 hours a day is calculated by dividing by 500.
For example 500/40 = 12.5 It means that each insulin unit is metabolized 12.5 gr of carbohydrates.
From the calculation and observation of the behavior of blood glucose, the doctor or the treating medical team will determine the bolus by consumption of each particular person.
The person who performs it must keep control, registering meals and glycemic controls of at least three days to be analyzed, and thus know if the hydrates count is carried out well.
Here he talks about a ration of HC, S are 15 grams of them, although according to what places it can be understood that 1 RAC.There are 10 grams ... that's the least, we learned with this last rule and we continue to do so.
Greetings.
