[QUOTE="noblehead, post: 749361, member: 11028"] If you've recently been in your Honeymoon period then this will explain why you didn't have to bolus for low-carb meals. I would have to inject for the meals you listed, for a breakfast of bacon & egs or a cheese omelette I nearly have to inject as much insulin as I do for a breakfast of porridge oats, as the protein and fat breaks down slowly the only way I can manage such meals is by split-dosing, meaning injecting a couple of units before eating and a couple 2-3 hours after eating before. Try eating the same meals but bolus Brad, start with a low-dose then work your way up going from your postprandial bg readings, its a case of trial and error to get the dosage right for low-carb meals.
