I am on lantus and novolog. I follow a very low carb diet, less than 20 a day and all above ground veggies or a few nuts and the small amount in avocado. I eat about 40 G proteins day, 30 in animal/ fish and the rest in pumpkin seeds, nuts and veggies. Fat not sure just enough to satisfy.
I have hugely reduced insulin.
My meal plan everyday is
BF half an avocado and celery and a pice of deli turkey with a swipe of flavored mayo and sometimes on a lettuce wrap. If I have the turkey wrap I eat 1/4 avocado.
Lunch is 10 G protein and 1/3 avocado with a splattering of chopped red onion, scallion, radish and celery. Sometimes the protein get mayo, sometimes olive oil and sometimes I just mix it all together . Sometimes it's on a piece of lettuce and sometimes not
Dinner is 15 G protein with the same thing as lunch.
For all these meals I take 1/2 unit novolog. I take 1 unit lantus at 10:30 pm.
Occasionallyni have asparagus, broccoli, cauliflower but then I need 1 unit.
I like to keep things as simple as possible these days so I precook proteins in bulk and freeze in portions in baggies. I have no problem with cold salmon, steak, lamb, chicken, turkey, shrimp. White fish like cod, flounder, tilapia I sauté fight before eating.
I definatley need to watch protein portions and carbs. I eat fat to satisfy and with every meal.
Does it work? Absolutely. No grains, starch, dairy, sugar etc.
