Message: <blockquote data-quote="Kristin251" data-source="post: 1201708" data-attributes="member: 240838">I find the same thing which is the biggest reason I eat low carb ( the other is I don't digest them or large meals well) when I first started insulin and was only eating 20 c per meal I would hypo, then hyper and stay high. If I eat a lot ( well for me) of protein regardless of fat content I stay high and it's harder to get it down. Fat has very little effect on my bs. It is said it slows protein and carbs but the only fat I actually have found to do that is avocado. Oils, butter etc have no effect so I'm assuming it's all the fiber along with the fat. I need to keep protein on the low end or I would need to double bolus and I'm not interested in that on a daily basis. Nuts between meals don't raise me but they do stop me from coming back down. Avocado has become my super food because it slows everything as well as keeps the rise lower. I do find it strange with protein that if I go up I stay up. At least avocado lessens the rise by a lot and allows me to come back down, all very slowly. I definitely have to watch my protein. It's the only food I still weigh but it works because I cook in bulk and freeze in my portions so all I do is defrost. I have many options of precooked food every day. All my raw veggies ar else chopped so all I do assemble what I'm in the mood for. Makes like much simpler and takes the stress of diabetes off my plate.</blockquote>
