[QUOTE="LooperCat, post: 2156642, member: 468055"] I’ve had to work out my own personal strategy, but a good starting point is to dose for the protein content of your meat/fish at half your carb ratio. For example my evening carb ratio is 1u:10g so if I have white fish I dose at 1u:20g of actual protein, and extend it over two hours on my pump. You can do similar by injecting the dose over two hours to mimic the effect. It means lots of tiny injections, if you’re on MDI but it does get rid of that slow rise. Some people have found they need different ratios and timings for different proteins and even different cuts of the same animal. Personally, I don’t eat meat, just fish and eggs. I need to dose for lean fish, but not fatty fish, eggs or cheeses, although many do. Everyone has to experiment on their body and see what works, there’s no one size fits all solution, I’m afraid.
