[QUOTE="fergusc, post: 4025, member: 1652"] Mandarin, It's a common mistake if you've been taught to carb count and disregard the glucose generating capability of protein. In the absense of carbohydrates, about 1/3 of the protein you consume can be converted to glucose. Just because you're not eating carbs doesn't mean you can stop taking insulin. I need 3 units of insulin (Humalog) in the morning to cover 2 scrambled eggs and 2 slices of bacon. Without the insulin, I'd go very high too. With the insulin I stay absolutely on the level. All the best, fergusc [/QUOTE]
