I'm going to attempt to incorporate low carb into several meals as I do this for breakfast with smoothies n have good results.
Today for lunch I had a tuna salad. In this salad I had lettuce, spinach, cucumber, avocado, tiny bit of sweet corn, little bit of hard boiled egg, tuna and I put a little dollop of Mayo on to mix it in! My blood sugar was 7.2 before hand. It wasn't a large salad just a normal bowl size so I figured the carbs in everything wouldn't add up to much so I had 1 unit for the meal (ratio 1.5 to 10 grams) and I had 1 unit to correct me back down to 5 ish. After one hour it was 9.4 then after 2 hours it was 9.2 still. Any idea what I could have done wrong??
