As we all know consuming protein with no carbs can lead to gluconeogenesis and a higher BGL a couple of hours down the line.

On MDI how do you guys deal with this if you really don’t want the carbs?

They say that if carbs aren’t present in a high protein meal then you work out the protein divide it by 50% and apply your usual bolus ratio to it.

The question I am asking in when do you apply this dose, just before you eat or about 2 hours after which is when your most likely to get gluconeogenesis

Thanks
 
I used to inject for whatever carbs were in the meal when I sat down to eat, and then keep an eye on my Libre trace, and then when it started to rise a couple of hours or so after, I’d inject for the protein at half the dose per gram.
