[QUOTE="Bluemarine Josephine, post: 1026317, member: 213188"] The only way to handle weight gain when you are on a basal/bolus insulin scheme is to consider very well the food combinations. This is what I do: Before getting into a basal/bolus scheme, I was following an extra-low carbs and high fat diet. Following my nutritionist's advise, as soon as I entered the basal/bolus scheme, I introduced 30 grams of carbs per meal which means 90 grams overall per day. For whichever additional carb I introduced in my diet, I was cutting down the equivallent of fat. For example, in order to have an apple (pear, fruit of choice) every day, I quit butter completely. Likewise, for 2 slices of rye bread I quit ham/bacon completely. For a banana I reduced cheese. If I want to have 200 grams of greek yogurt for dinner, I reduce cheese even further during the day. I also stopped nuts as I find them very calorific. So, for whatever carbohydrate choice I introduced in my diet, I cut down another fatty choice. I also make sure that all the carbs come from fruits, unprocessed bread, yogurt and milk. I dont even touch pasta, rice, potatoes, sweets, desserts, cakes. I only indulge in a digestive biscuit maybe once every 4 days (as a treat). Additionally, I reduced my protein intake. Meat/fish/poultry etc do not exceed 140 - 150 grams for lunch. I hope this helps. Regards Josephine [/QUOTE]
