[QUOTE="alaska, post: 969501, member: 14213"] In Poland, the effect of fat and protein on blood sugar is better understood than in the UK. They have a system used by people on insulin pumps which accounts for both the protein and fat in meals. It's called WBT (Wymienniki białkowo-tłuszczowe). WBT is used in addition to WW (ie carb counting). WBT involves calculating the number of calories in protein and fat and applying a formula to turn that into an insulin dose for the combined protein and fat. It's generally only recommended for use with insulin pumps as you can use the extended boluses on pumps. On injections it would require an additional injection around 2-3 hours or so after the meal to cope with the slow peak at the 3-6 hour mark that results from the protein and fat.
