  1. Hi! When you say you add 5-7 g is that to the insulin to carb ratio or to the total carbs from cereal and milk? Please let me know my son has been asking for cereal 🤞🏼☹️

    1. Hey there! Thanks for asking this (I should definitely make that a bit clearer). Add to the total carb count. You’ll need to play around with the number and find the count that works the best for your son.
