[QUOTE="smidge, post: 322615, member: 29301"] Hi Insanity! I read the previous thread and have the same issue. I take around 50g carb a day and definitety struggle with the 'protein effect'! I don't use a pump, so don't really know what to suggest. A couple of points, though - it isn't consistent with me -sometimes it happens and other times it doesn't, so i'm pretty worried to attack it with extra insulin; it is more pronounced now i'm on Levemir/Apidra - until recently I was on Insuman basal/Apidra and I think the insuman peak was dealing with it, so I'm studying and recording and trying to work out the exact pattern so that I can work out when the peak of insulin need to be to deal with it - I'll then ask for the insulin whose profile I think closest matches my needs. We'll see! Lastly, omellette and steak with salad seem to be the worst culprits - roast dinner with 2 small pieces roast potato seems to be better - the only carb my body seems prepared to tolerate :crazy: So, I know this is no help to you :lol: but I'll be sure to let you know if i learn anything useful from my study and I'll watch the responses to your thread with interest :lol: In the meantime, Good Luck with sorting it out!
