[QUOTE="Mrs Vimes, post: 1062654, member: 67132"] I eat lchf and find that I have to bolus for protein. Different sources need different amounts. Beef or red meat hits my system about 6 hours later. Chicken and mozarella about an hour after. (Less fat hits faster). I used to split my dose. It's different for different people. I work out the amount of protein, so 100g of chicken roughly 30g of protein. Then I divide by 3 and work out the dose as if it was carbs. So 30g if protein is roughly equivalent to 10g if carbs. The complication is injecting after you eat as protein is a lot slower than carbs. On mdi I used to split it. I'm on a pump now so can bolus over a period of time. Hope that helps [USER=270536]@smilesandsmiles[/USER] [/QUOTE]
