[QUOTE="Kristin251, post: 1416653, member: 240838"] Hi Josephine!! Sounds like we're not so different. Yes I keep rising until lunch as well. So now I inject 1 unit. Eat. An hour later another 1/2-1 and around noon another 1/2-1. So 3 injections before lunch!! I've tried so many things and nothing works in the morning. I always rise. Sometimes much faster and higher without avocado. Not eating is MUCH worse . I just keep rising until about 1pm or even until lunch at 3 and these extra boluses stop the rise. I am very anal about bs. I like to stay between 80 and 100. I don't digest carbs and I might as well just slap them on my derrière, no chewing required. I am grain free as well as almost dairy free. They make me insulin resistant. Avocado at lunch and dinner keep me low and slow. Very steady. Too many Nuts will make me insulin resistant as well, same with saturated fat and excess protein. I don't eat the same food everyday ( except avocado) but I do eat the same macros at each given meal. Now I know my dose and very few meter surprises. Insulin and I don't get along too well so I like tiny doses. I could never get my insulin there at the same time as my food and bs was all over the place. I cannot random eat. This was most likely the protein element. I dose for half my protein. So if I eat 15g (2 oz ) I dose as if it were 7 carbs. If I split my .8g per kg over the whole day it's much better for me than all at once. If I eat over 3 oz I need a split dose. Because I don't digest carbs well I need a very high fat diet ( in macros, not loads of food). I eat 80% fat, 15% protein and 5% carbs all in avocado, veggies and a FEW nuts as snacks.
