Surely you just need to inject earlier? I need 20 mins before riceBrown rice and Novorapid don't get on with each other. Insulin taken after eating. Foods obviously having an effect, but the Novorapid is too fast acting for the rice duration. Ah well. Split dose for it in the future!
Hard to when trying to bulk up doing weight training. It's either brown rice or sweet potato, both of which do odd things.

I'm surprised at that spike. I eat the majority of my carbs in the evening, so around 25-30g?, and I barely need to take any insulin for it post gym session. How much are you eating? you could try Quinoa for a good grain replacement that has a high protein content, so it's good for you to bulk up if that's what you're after. I'd also recommend a split bolus if you're eating 40+ grams of carb in one sitting, especially for carbs with high fiber content like Brown rice and Sweet Potato, it's the only way for me to avoid the low/high swing.
Yes, I was too. It really wasn't working as I expected. I find Quinoa is too low in carbs given the amount of food I'm having to eat, so while it has protein, I still need to eat a lot. Either way, libre's taught me more about how to manage it in two months than I have in twenty years of finger pricking.
I know the feeling. Highly frustrating. @Omnipod That's the benefit of a low carb higher fat diet. It does that to your blood sugar levels most of the time. Now the consultants won't like it, but it does make a difference!
you might be coming down with something..got your sick day rules?
I have to say the Libre needs a lot of blood for a traditional bloodglucose test, I think twice as much as the Contour Next Im using normally. Abbot failed to innovate this old testmethod as much as Bayer did. So let's hope the lack of innovation will not appear with the sensors or let's hope Bayer picks up the idea and creates sensors with better accuracy
