Hi guys we have just done our first week of LCHF with my five year old daughter (in fact the whole family) and we have been bolusing for protein and carbs. Protein at 50% calculations and we have seen a huge improvement in blood sugars and the low numbers have allowed us to see specifically which food cause spikes as it has become very obvious.
Does anyone have any advice on the protein bolus? Do you calculate it for everything? We hid have a night time hypo last night and we had the fat head pizza for dinner last night which has so much protein it required a huge dose of insulin. I guess this defeats the object but it was nice and if we do it again we will just serve a much smaller portion with more salad.
Any advice from experience would be gratefully received! We are hoping to have a glucose meter for a while which should help with the calculations as we will see the real time info which I am looking forward to
Thanks, Stuart
