[QUOTE="Kristin251, post: 1663451, member: 240838"] I am keto. Under 20 total carbs, not net. I keep my protein moderate as I gluconeogenisis like a rock star. I divide 45 g into 5 small snacky meals. Then I eat fat to satisfy. My carbs mostly come from avocado, macadamia and pecans. I tend to keep saturated fats on the low end as they take much longer to digest and keep me higher much longer. If I have a hamburger I have to bolus twice. I also prebolus 30 min before as protein turns to bg very fast for me. Now I eat pretty much the same macros at each meal and know my bolus for each time of day. I stay very flat basing my meals on a little protein and some avocado. The think is, in the UK 5 oz of avo is 3 NET carbs. Here in the US it’s 12 total and it acts like 12 for me. My insulin needs reduced. LOT and I had a few hypos along the way. Error on the side of caution with insulin. Better to be a tad high than a low [/QUOTE]
