[QUOTE="Kristin251, post: 1553453, member: 240838"] I've been keto for ages. Long before diabetes. It is true in the absense of carbs I have to bolus for about half my protein but the slight increases ( if any) are much lower and slower. I take one to two unit if lantus so it's long gone by morning and I rely on humalog through the day. I do eat 4 small fat and protein meals a day so I bolus 4 times. 2.5-3 hours apart and 1/2 unit humalog. I also have a small cheese snack pre dinner with a cocktail and rare,y bolus for that. Though I do bolus 4 times a day my bs stays rock steady. No dips or spikes. I eat less than 20c per day and mostly in salad or lettuce wraps, asparagus, avocado, nuts and pumpkin seeds. I do keto for numerous reasons. I certainly feel best in ketosis, also less insulin use, disease prevention ( hopefully) and my stomach prefers it. Weight maintenances as well. Though one may not have to bolus for protein if carbs are in the meal I prefer protein and fat over carbs. Carbs make me achy, tired and fat haha. I love eating my fat, not wearing it Just my experience and personal choice.... [/QUOTE]
