Nuts

[Mark Rawlinson]

I am not talking about salted peanuts but mixad nuts, almonds brazil, Hazel walnuts etc
I was gived a few packets as a Birthday treat and since I had some ( a handful or so) I find my BS is raising
I thought they were a good alternative too

Is it the protein raising your blood sugars @Mark Rawlinson ?

I don't have a problem with walnuts, hazel nuts, pecans, almonds or brazil nuts. Cashews aren't true nuts and are pretty high in carb.

I believe some T1's have to account for protein when calculating how much insulin to use. @SimonP78 I see you have liked @KennyA 's post. Have I got that right? @Mark Rawlinson is a T2 on insulin.

Yes T2 on Basal (Trujeio)and Bolus (Trurapi) insulins and 1 metformin a day

More for the carb content of the non-tree nuts, specifically peanuts in my case (I don't really like cashews). Brazil nuts, for example (which I'm munching on right now) contain very few carbs.

I would probably need to account for the protein if I'd not eaten any carbs earlier, but I'm very rarely in a situation where I need to do this as I'm definitely not low carb.

 

[Melgar]

@Mark Rawlinson It sounds like you are an individual that needs to account for proteins. Nuts can be high in proteins. I'm not on insulin , so I can't comment, but I have read some T1 discussions on the subject. @Antje77 may be able to help.

If you see a consistent rise from them, you could work out how to dose with your trurapi.

Personally, if I have nuts earlier in the day I need to inject for them, in the evening I don't. But this may be completely different for you.
I let my meter guide me, if a food raises my bg I inject for it next time.

Thank you for now I don't want to change the units as am only using 4u trurapi will see what nurse says today at my app't. If my sugar has been high I have odd time gone to 5 units hope se is not on here :/
something must be right as mt Hba1c has gone from 129 to now 61 over 6 months
Also remember these nuts are an occasional treat not staple part of my diet

She was very pleased with
h my much lower Hba1c of 61 but it needs to be lower (it was 129 less than 6 months ago)
Thank you, we are looking at around 50 then we will be very happy. Weight has gone up a bit due to insulin Blood Press was decent
The way you are going we will see you in 6monthe (not 3)
I did forget to ask if I need to test as aften instead of 8 times a day
thank you for asking

Ask yourself why you test, and how you use the information that testing gives you.
Test before driving of course for safety around hypos, test when you feel like you may be having a hypo is a given.

But do you use the testing around food to adjust your insulin doses, or would you like to?

If it is high then I go from 4 to 5u if it is badly high then 6u
