[QUOTE="Kristin251, post: 1577563, member: 240838"] I highly commend you for trying to get your insulin down!!! Thats exactly what I'm trying to do, keep my doses low. ( and my stomach happy) I personally believe low insulin levels are key to a healthier longer life though many don't agree. I eat the way I do and take insulin the way I do to keep everything low and slow. When I was type2 I was puzzled a few times as to why and when bs went up. Since starting insulin I can CLEARLY see which foods and macros do what to my bg and how fast. This is where the higher animal fat comes in. I don't go up for hours and I stay higher longer. I can eat the same grams of lean poultry and a fatty beef burger and everything changes. I'll go down a bit with the poultry but I'll need an extra bolus for the fatty beef around 1.5 hours. Everything else in the meal the same. This fat thing doesn't happen with plant fats like avo, mayo, oil. If I over eat nuts it will. Protein does spike insulin almost as much as carbs. I take insulin for protein It's also said ( but debated by many) that saturated fat causes IR. And I see this now too. You're seeing lots of successes and I'm very happy for you. I know it's a project haha [/QUOTE]
