I'm a type 1, but the principles of insulin use are the same. You need to know 2 ratios. Your insulin to carb ratio (how many carbs you can eat per unit of insulin) and your ISF (insulin sensitivity factor). This is how many points 1 unit of insulin will drop you. Most folks start out with an I:C (insulin to carb) of 1:15 and then adjust from there based on what the test results are. Test, test, test and you will figure out what works for you.
