Within the practice of carbohydrate counting, there is also advanced carbohydrate counting. This method is usually used in people who need advanced glucose measurement. The factor of sensitivity to insulin is calculated and the ratio of carbohydrate to insulin is determined.
In this way, the person is told what kind of program should be followed and regular controls are carried out. In some cases, this rate is recalculated. For example, recalculation can be made in processes such as weight gain, the occurrence of hypoglycemia or an increase in hypoglycemia. The ratio of carbohydrate to insulin is an important issue in this field and is usually determined in two ways.
First of all, the amount of carbohydrate in grams taken in a meal is divided by the insulin dose taken in the meal and the ratio is calculated. Another method is to calculate grams of carbohydrate divided by one unit of insulin.
