evening all,
I hope your all well, I’ve been following dr Bernstein’s diabetic solution now since the end of June. Start of August I found out that the protein in my meals was out living my novorapid I was taking so chasing steady rises once that had run it’s course, which seems to be pretty short in me. I’m very slim at only 55kg-58kg and only 5.8 very active and burn off pretty much anything I eat so insulin works a dream in me.
I’m asking my DB nurse tomorrow to switch me to regular insulin for meals, novorapid for DP in the mornings, exercise anc correction. Does anyone know the exact formula for working out how much regular insulin covers 30g of protein etc.. as the guide in dr b’s book is very vague and all pieces of 6oz portions of meat turn into different amounts of protein depending on what they are.
Steak 100g = 25g protein
Chicken breast 100g = 30g protein
1 large egg = 8.3g protein
Yogurt even less at 2.2 g per 100g
How can 1 oz portion be 0.5 unit of regular if they all have different end values in the form of actual protein they contain.
Help!!!!!!!
