princess- 1 to 7 soundsl like it should probably be a good ratio. But Do u mind if I ask you how much you weigh?? I’m pretty small 5″2 and around 115 pounds. I use 1 per 10. I dont know how much you weigh but it is possible that you need 1 per 5. In either case it sounds to me like counting carbs is the crux of the problem here becuase your saying that ur basal works when your not eating and as soon as you eat you shoot up!
When you say you took LOTS of insulin for supper How much did you take and what did you eat? try to give me EXACT numbers if possible. (btw I agree with coffee, I also see a change in ur attitude 🙂 KEEP it UP!!! YOU CAN DO IT! YOU CAN DO IT!! :)))
