[QUOTE="Trinkwasser, post: 78412, member: 11875"] Yes, in a normie carbs produce the most insulin release, protein will produce a lesser amount, fat none at all. Some Type 1s need to bolus for protein for this reason (a much lower ratio than for carbs). The body (principally the liver) is pretty good at turning stuff into other stuff. If you eat carbs it will whoosh these into glucose, often more and faster than you need. If you cut the carbs below this level it will generate all the glucose you actually require from protein, which especially for us Type 2s is a much smoother and less peaky process, but it may still require more insulin than your basal provides to deal with it. Some individuals prefer R to the faster acting logs to cope with a high protein meal. [/QUOTE]
