[QUOTE="Lynnzhealth, post: 2336834, member: 436056"] We could be. lololol Scared the heck out of me as I'm sure it did you. I definitely wasn't prepared for that. I am still confused. I was on very low doses of bolus at meals, however, this past few months it seems I need more, so I've been experimenting. I eat very low carb and when my BG goes up higher than I want, then I get frustrated. For instance, if my BG is 7.7 before lunch and I dose 1.5u and 2 hrs after my low carb lunch it is 13.7, I'm frustrated because that is out of range. I really want to be more consistent and stay within range. So, does that mean I didn't take enough? And, if my BG before lunch is 9.3, I dose 2.5u and 2 hrs after lunch my BG is 7.7, does that mean I dosed too much? My A1C in Sept. was 7.6. I want it to be lower, as in around 5. I live in Canada and we do the #s differently. And, if I don't eat as much protein as I need, would that make a difference? I have been reading Dr. Bernstein's book and trying to keep my BG down to avoid all the complications, however, I feel like I'm missing something. Any help would be appreciated. Stay safe and stay well. [/QUOTE]
