Hi all
Hope everyone is well and in range!
I am thinking about switching to a high protein / low carb diet - not because of anything to do with my blood sugars - I'm just keen to shed a few pounds and tone up a bit.
I understand that some people have to bolus for protein if they have a carb free meal. Therefore I was wondering if it would be best to have a small amount of carbs with each meal so that I could calculate a bolus dose for that. Or, would it be best to just check 2-3 hours after eating and correct if necessary.
Thanks so much!
