[QUOTE="cz_dave, post: 1015714, member: 177195"] You are right, there seem to be a lot of similarities between us. By the way, I had the c-peptide test taken and it revealed I still have quite a bit of my own insulin. It is already below what's normal but not that much. Someone pointed out that us, LADAs, have a significantly impaired bolus ability but the ability to keep our BG levels steady outside of mealtimes is quite good. This is very true for me. I would think you are in the same boat. As for protein, I never ate a lot of protein and in fact I tried to increase a little bit on it after going low-carb. Still, I think my protein input is not above 100g/day. Eating these moderate quantities does not seem to have any noticeable effect on my BG. And yes, when I drink alcohol in the evening, I also tend to haves slightly lower readings the next morning. In fact I like to have a wine every other evening. Now, the extra bolus to counter the 11am BG increase was just an idea. I have only done it once - recently - when I had a flu and my BG was running higher than usual and it worked very well on that occassion. Normally, the increase is not as high to justify an extra bolus. Also, recently these morning spikes were not as profound as they used to be - perhaps due to the evening glass(es) of wine? :) [/QUOTE]
