[QUOTE="urbanracer, post: 2390527, member: 140811"] I heard the same comments about eating 15g of carbs when I attended something called IMaGE (Insulin Management and General Education) at my local hospital. But what 'I' can get a way with without bolusing depends hugely on activity levels. Sitting on the sofa and eating 15g would see my glucose rise without a bolus, but if I was heading out for a walk I'd probably chance it. I used to use glargine based insulin and when I started using the Libre it became abundantly clear that the insulin was only lasting around 18hrs in the body despite Lilly's claim of it being a 24hr insulin. So I split the dose to get 24hr cover. Now I use Levemir which works better as a split dose anyway. I too am on a greatly reduced carb intake which is sometimes less than 50g per day but mostly around 100g. I tried to eat a 'normal' diet and bolus accordingly but if I bolus for a high carb meal then I hypo later. So I eat less carbs and inject less and it seems to work (better) for me. As for your salad, if you spike up to 12mmol, what level were you before the meal? Welcome to the forums by the way! [/QUOTE]
