[QUOTE="Kristin251, post: 1015849, member: 240838"] Seems there is one big difference between us and that is that my GAD test was over 250 meaning I make none of my own insulin. So at about the 3 hour point after injection I will not come back down without an additional bolus. I do tend to need 1/2 unit around 11 am if I eat around 8. Exercise will raise me and I will not come back down without additional insulin either. I can keep my BS great within meals is it outside of meals that becomes random. I still struggle with the right BF but as you mentioned it is not always food in the mornings. As far as protein with you it could help eating it because it does cause a rise in insulin (which I don't have) . When I was a T2 and had a little high reading or after exercise I would eat a few nuts (about 3) and it would be enough to elicit an insulin reaction and bring me back down because it also was not enough to raise BG. I have a friend who plays tennis and always pops up and started eating 3 macadamias and she always comes back down now. Funny trick. Yes, wine is my friend. I do have a glass every night. I like to keep every thing consistent haha One thing I am not sure of is it is said that is more important to keep insulin low than BS but I am not sure how to keep BS low without insulin. I understand I take extremely low doses (1 unit at meals and 2-3 basal) but I still don't know how to fix higher BG without insulin if I pop up. Maybe this applies to people who are IR and not so much me?? Thoughts? [/QUOTE]
