You can dose for protein with fast-acting insulins like novorapid but it's a little bit more difficult. They're not that different but because the peak is slightly sharper you need to inject at the right time. It helps a lot to have a CGM when you figure this out because you can intercept the rise from protein while you're tuning the timing for meals with different fat content. I find that when I eat lean meat like chicken breast I can inject just after eating, whereas with something fatty like pork belly I take insulin an hour after eating. Good luck and give me a shout if you have any specific questions, I'm happy to help. I also eat about 50-60g of carbs a day so it is what I would call a Bernstein hack diet.</p></blockquote><p></p>
