I'm not a pump user but do see a bg rise after eating meals high in protein and fat without any visible carbs on the plate, all I would suggest is you use an extended blous to counteract the slow rise in bg levels, for someone like myself on MDI I have to split-dose my insulin. Maybe Novorapidboi can suggest how you do this as I haven't the foggiest.
If my conversion was accurate, would you see an increase in BG of the magnitude shown when eating protein.........?
the square wave bolus function on the leading pumps out there is simple enough, provided you are on target before the meal, at least with medtronic anyway as if your high, it would want you to get insulin in straight away to bring you back, which then turns the dose in to a dual wave bolus......
@sonaarora , I assume you know how these functions are carried out..............
Good explanation Novo
As for your question, I would more than likely see a rise like that if I didn't bolus, but if I just injected a small amount of QA before the meal and then didn't inject again postprandial then Yes I'd see a bg rise into double figures, maybe not as high as the OP but much would depend on the portion sizes in the meal.
wow, this is a suprise for me, I suppose just like everything, some peoples bodies will convert their protein at different rates.......
I don't observe this, or so I believe........
I would like to see how many people have a similar effect from protein...........
time for a POLL maybe..........
