[QUOTE="kitedoc, post: 2048342, member: 468714"] Hi [USER=490251]@Timostags[/USER], Several things to point out and ask: Did you read what the sugars content on the packet of chicken and the baked beans are? If DAPHNE is about carb couting, why ignore them in the carb count if they do cause a response in some people. If i fast 18 hours i start to produce ketones, those breakdown products of fat, as i am in starvation mode. in this situation the ketonesmake my insulin less effective andzso skew the bsl results. The usual basal testing regime interval this site tends to use is 6 hours. I do a 12 hour fast as a compromise, whilst keeping a eye on ketone levels. When fasting, or having very little carbs, our liver changes some of any protein we eat into glucose, which may show up with some bsl rise at ? 3 hours later. So i am uncertain exactly what is in the beef kofta but it sounds like protein is an ingredient and ? some carbs? Your bsls are far above normal levels in your recording so your nurse's advice is needed asap. I am not a fan of Lantus but that is something you may or not may not wish to take up with your nurse or doctor. See diabettech.com Lantus: Lethal or Saviour? [/QUOTE]
