[QUOTE="Kristin251, post: 1426093, member: 240838"] How am I doing in regards to what? I'm vlc moderate protein and enough healthy fat to satisfy. Last 3 6 month a1cs were all 5.1. Recently found the extremely small amount of protein I was eating with bf requires 150% more insulin. So better now with less insulin especially in the morning. Ate a bit extra protein 2 nights ago and woke up with a much higher fasting than normal (117). I'm rarely EVER that high. Now comes the one bad meal equals 3 bad days drama. I don't do well with a high calorie diet or large meals. It was just amazing how much less than one tiny ounce of protein in the morning required so much more insulin! I needed one unit when I ate avocado and less than an ounce of turkey or salmon. Then an hour later another unit. Then two hours later 1/2 unit to stop the rise. With just avocado I need 1/2 unit and two hours later another half unit. That's it. One less stick and 150% less insulin. These crazy nuances. ... [/QUOTE]
