[QUOTE="phoenix, post: 182366, member: 12578"] [b]Re: Protien to glucose[/b] roughly 58% of protein and 10% of fat convert to glucose along with the carbs, they take a lot longer. Some people take this into account when bolusing and inject a bit up front for the carbs and then inject some more later to take account of the other components of the meal. It is a lot of calculation, personally I only take protein into account if it is a meal that is heavy on protein/fat and low carb. I only have a few meals like that and use an educated guestimate ( in reality often not enough ) Normally I expect my normal ratios (or even the basal) reflect my day to day protein intake. If you want to know more about bolusing to take account of protein and fat, there is a group elsewhere that discuss it . If you google: protein diabetes "Total available glucose" , you will find a couple of blogs with links to these discusssions. [/QUOTE]
