hi, my nurse has been asking me to do some carb free meals to check my background insulin. I believe however that when I have protein as part of that meal it affects my blood sugars. This obviously goes against the diabetes principles and my nurse is a bit sceptical.
I have read a few articles and books which include this topic and they note the same affect, so I presume it's not just me that is affected?
At the moment I am making a complete guess of how much insulin to take but have been using the ratio of 1 unit of insulin to 10g of protein.
I would be interested to hear if others have had the same issue.
