[QUOTE="mentat, post: 441047, member: 86670"] I'm low-carbing and I find that I need to count 50% of the protein in a low-carb meal as if it were carbs. E.g. 10g carbs and 30g protein is like eating 25g carbs only. If you want to see what happens at night you can set an alarm at 1am one night, 4am another night, see what your sugar levels are at that point. The idea is to keep your sugar good for most of the night - it will inevitably rise for a couple hours in the morning but if you can get 6 or even 8 hours of good sugars each night you're doing yourself a lot of good. It's not much fun getting up to check, but you only need to do it occasionally. If I get a hypo I don't wait 3 consecutive days, I reduce my dosage the next day just in case. If I get highs I will typically wait up to 3 days; if they're really high or get higher every day then I'll increase my dosage sooner. Keep a sugar diary and see if there are patterns in it. Maybe your sugars are lower the day following a gym day? Cheers [/QUOTE]
