[QUOTE="RuthW, post: 969462, member: 148713"] So, the advice not "completely wrong", then, Tim. It is probably wrong for a lot of people, depending on what the rest of their diet and activity is like, as well as how much residual insulin production they have, how much of a "muscle bank", etc, etc. The point is that there are many, many factors for each of us. In clinical work medical personnel know to pace the information they give. They are not expecting that the patient will have a single consultation for the rest of their life, so they give out info piece by piece, most likely info first. That way people get the bare bones right, then according to each patient's needs their regimen can be tweaked. Your advice on protein and bolusing IS useful, but if I did that I'd be hypo every day, so your advice is not "completely wrong" but neither is the advice the OP was given initially. Noblehead is right: "Try it and see!" I think black and white stances often involve unjustifiable criticism of medical personnel [/QUOTE]
