Did you use full fat whole milk products, or was it a low fat cheese spread type? did you have a coffee or cracker with it? Eggs contain protein that can turn into glucose if your bgl is already quite low (search gluconeogenesis)Hi there, I have just started to follow a low/medium low carb diet. Im type one.
I find that omelette with cream and cheese raised my blood sugar. Cant understand why. Any help??
Thanks for your answer. no crackers! I didn't use milk, just very strong cheese and eggs. I do drink coffee (real and strong) one cup a day with breakfast. I had some kale as well, but not that much. my morning blood sugar was 5.6. an hour after breakfast it was 10.9. so I am puzzled.Did you use full fat whole milk products, or was it a low fat cheese spread type? did you have a coffee or cracker with it?

Your meal does not seem to be excessive. I am a T2D, so I think this may need some input from a T1D or two. It sounds like your insulin regime may need tweaking, so I cannot advise any further. Hope you get an answer you can use soon.Thanks for your answer. no crackers! I didn't use milk, just very strong cheese and eggs. I do drink coffee (real and strong) one cup a day with breakfast.

swings and roundabouts.
I think the protein aspect of the diet largely depends on your lean mass (muscle) and exercise levels. If I remember correctly, you're at a very low bodyweight and don't do much exercise which would make sense why too much protein could spike your levels.Persononly I eat very low carb and MODERATE protein. Anything over about 15 g will spike me or require a second bolus about an hour later. If I took the whole bolus to cover it I would go low 1st then spike. Cheese / dairy spike me as well. The fat will also slow the spike of some of the meal.
In the morning I need a very low carb low protein high fat BF. I am very insulin resistant in the morning. Carbs and protein need to be very limited in the morning but I can ramp up as the day progresses.
I also eat low carb. I always inject immediately before eating and typically 1,5 units. I feel my body needs a bolus, however small, even if the meal has very little carbs.Hi there, I have just started to follow a low/medium low carb diet. Im type one.

In contrast, I have quite a bit more lean mass than the majority of people and I exercise frequently. If my protein intake gets too low, my body will start breaking down muscle and I can lose a pretty significant amount of weight (that I don't want to lose). To put it into perspective, I need to eat about 3000-3500 calories/day to avoid losing weight.
Bottom line, I think that's why there isn't more discussion about protein intake on a low-carb diet. It's not that it isn't important. It's that there's a ton of variation in each person's needs
When you are eating it might make difference too. I'm type 1 and low carb. If I have a 3 egg omelette for breakfast I need 2 units of fast acting but if I have it for lunch/dinner would probably have 1/1.5 units.
