Hello kansan and :welcome: to the forum. There is a wealth of information on here and if you can't find what you are looking for, just do a search.

I am taking Humalog and Lantus. I have been taking them for 2 weeks now. I take Humalog right before each meal. 10u at breakfast, 9u at lunch, and 8u at dinner. And I take 12u of Lantus before bed. I have been researching carb counting. The 500 rule is what I have been reading . That I take my daily dose of insulin and divide it by 500 to get my insuling to carb ratio. And that tells me how many grams of carbs I can cover per unit of inulin. It's all very confusing still.Welcome! I have found this forum very helpful since my diagnosis last august. What insulin are you on? Have you started counting carbs?
