Thanks for the tips guys - I had no idea about protein raising blood sugar but it kinda makes sense after looking into the biochemistry. I shall do more research and perform a little experiment on myself.

I currently do not bolus for protein. This theory could make sense, especially the stacking part, as my levels do drop at the end of the day after I have exercised (usually go after work). I can't say to my knowledge that I've had a problem with novorapid in terms of resistance. Could it be...

Yeah I add fats like nuts and a little red meat. I've heard about the body not being able to process more than a certain amount of protein but on a more ketonic diet, sure you are using that extra protein as you don't have carbs for energy and fats are slow releasing. This is absolutely...

This will require a couple of reads to fully comprehend, but my initial take away as mentioned in other replies is that insulin is needed to process protein so it may be the case that have to add more insulin even if carbs are low - correct?

Again, an interesting theory that a couple of people have suggested. I would love to see a study on this or - if one doesn't exist - perform a study. Thanks for the idea!

This is something I've never seen before but that could be something to look into. I'm on a protein rich, higher in fat (which I've researched can increase insulin resistance) and low in carbs. Are there any studies on this?

You seem to know a thing or two! I'm just after ideas here, I realise that the answer for me is very different from someone else going through the same thing. Yeah exercise makes a spike but I can explain that as you have. I should have been more specific. I'm talking about like mid morning to...

Hey, been type 1 diabetic for over 13 years. I've had ups and downs in overall control but my HbA1c is usually very good. Over the last couple of years I've experimented with low carb diets and carb cycling for body building - not competitively, just for vanity. Recently I've found that my blood...

I'm Type 1 and on Novo Rapid (bolus) and Lantus (basal). I have been advised by docs that basal should be injected within a certain window of time before going to bed (think it was around 30 minutes), which got me thinking, what if for whatever reason, I don't sleep? Say if I'm working a night...

I am Type1 and have been told that I should only rest 2-3 times a week unless I'm ill. UTTER CRAZINESS! Had to be a bit of a **** with them and tell them they were dead wrong!
