[QUOTE="noblehead, post: 683693, member: 11028"] You took a correction dose to bring your bg levels down postprandial but didn't bolus for your meal, meals that are high in protein still need a bolus injection to account for the slow breakdown of the protein, in the absence of carbs protein converts to glucose by around 50%. Next time try taking a small amount of insulin to allow for the meal and test postprandial, how much insulin you will need is only decided by your bg readings afterwards, so basically it's trial & error as traditional carb counting techniques go out of the window when you eat a low-carb meal.
