Carb free meals

[Ljm84]

Hi guys,

I need to have a few carb free meals to see the impact of my basal insulin.
Any tips? I'm vegatarian so eggs for breakfast should cover one.
Thanks for your help x

My favourite is chicken stir fry with oyster and spring onion sauce.

If you're testing your basal then you should miss the meal (only drink water)

As @robert72 says you need to miss the meal.

Here's a useful site which covers basal testing - aimed at pumpers but still relevant to MDI

I agree with Robert, if you are testing your basal then you will need to fast, which means missing meals. Best of luck!
