[QUOTE="Spiker, post: 532654, member: 102150"] Unless you are eating nothing but fat, you have carbs going into your bloodstream, and it is extremely unlikely that you don't have carbs going into your stomach. Even if you are eating raw meat, that has carbs in it. There are traces of carbs in nearly everything. I think it is very bad and dangerous advice from your doctor for you to stop bolus insulin doses. It also is a pretty good explanation of why you are running pre-meal highs all the time. You really need to count the carbs that are in your food - and they are there, they are not zero. And you might also need to count the protein as well. But start by counting the carbs and dosing accordingly for them. You mention GI. The only time you would not need any bolus insulin is if every food you ate had a GI of exactly 0.00. That means water and pure fat. Everything else will raise your blood glucose to some extent. I don't understand why your doctor advised you not to bolus. I could guess that maybe she is applying the DAFNE rules, which ignore low levels of carbs? Those rules are just not appropriate for when you are doing an Atkins diet or other low carb diet. [/QUOTE]
