[QUOTE="ickihun, post: 1839325, member: 196960"] Youre hungry because your bgs will have spiked. And on top of a starting average 13.0 before meals your body is asking (via leptin) for a spike/surge of insulin. Which you may be getting poor quality insulin made by your own pancreas or not enough to cover your carb and protein. Remember in carb absence we insulin dependants start trying to convert protein to compensate. Any dressing on salad or root veg in salad or sugar in salad cream or similiar? Also too much fat slows down an insulin dependants digestion or if had bad management numbers similiar to 13mmol/l in the past can have damage to your stomach nerves/vessels. Chewing bubble gum aids healthy digestion. (Dr. Bernstein's book tip). Don't be put off increasing your bgs to reach good bg levels, with extra work you can reduce those units to perfection. As you know your units will vary month to month, that's life! (off now to pick sons from school but keep posting as loads more tips to help you achieve... Your goal. :)) [/QUOTE]
