[QUOTE="Heathenlass, post: 749332, member: 84861"] The answer may be with your protein and fat consumption to a degree . Both will convert to glucose, at a much slower rate than straightforward carbohydrates. So strictly speaking, there is no such beast as a no carb meal, and this does need to be bolused for, albeit at a much lower dose. How much depends on the person, and it's experimentation to find out your personal bolus levels for protein and/ or fat . Personally, I bolus at 50% For protein, and 30% for fat.. It's worth a mention that tomatoes are rather carby too :rolleyes: Oh, and welcome ! :D Signy [/QUOTE]
