[QUOTE="tim2000s, post: 893441, member: 30007"] What was in your tuna salad? Amount of protein and carbs in veg need to be accounted for when low carbing. How much tuna did you use? To give you an example for me today, I ate a lunch with next to no carbs and 50g of protein, 35g fat. I injected 3.5u before eating, got a slight rise, then needed 2u each hour after the meal for two hours to keep stable, then 1u three hours after it to bring my bg back down. It's not straight forward and most people start at an insulin protein ratio that is half what they use for carbs, then still have to inject later to counter the longer term rise that occurs. [/QUOTE]
