Hey Guys,
Not too sure the best way to explain myself but here I go.
Long story short i've started a low carb diet, since doing this I've realised (because I measure and weigh everything) that things such as salad and vegetables actually do have a small amount of carbs, which when put together add up to enough to require insulin (this is something that DAFNE and carb counting books do not include).
Since doing this diet I have managed to lower my HBA1C from 10.8 to 8.2 which i'm very pleased with. However I have always had a problem with injecting outside of my home. It is the summer holidays now so it hasn't been a problem as I can make sure I'm home to inject, or at least in a place I feel comfortable with. My fear is that when I return to university I will ruin my progress because I skip the insulin until I get home.
So my question is.. Is there anything that will make up a substantial lunch and require no insulin and not push my sugars up? Keeping in mind what I have said about salad and vegetables.
