I know that very low carbers have to count protein as well as carbs, but not sure how low you have to go for this to be relevant?
Does this also apply to T2ers ? (on or off insulin?)
Curious because as a T1 on approx 90g of carbs a day I haven't been counting proteins (maybe I should?) but am struggling with insulin resistance at certain times of day (in particular the dawn phenomena is killing my morning blood sugars). I am considering going lower for a while to see if it helps but not sure what to do about protein....
Any thoughts/experiences gratefully received.
