[QUOTE="EllieM, post: 2386497, member: 372717"] Your levels could be going up because of your basal rather than the protein. I'd expect most boluses to be running out after 5 hours so if your basal isn't enough your levels would go up then. My clinic told me that I only need to bolus for protein if I don't eat carbs, one reason why I go low carb rather than keto because life is hard enough just counting carbs. I do probably inject 6 times a day because I take one lantus, injections before meals, then often have to have a correction dose, particularly in the early hours of the morning to avoid a dawn phenomena spike. But my insulin needs and ratios vary quite a bit by time of day and activity level, so I have to tweak my dosages accordingly. That's interesting. Sort of consistent with not worrying about protein if you're not on a high protein diet such as a keto one? Have you considered asking for a pump rather than having so many injections? [/QUOTE]
