[QUOTE="Kristin251, post: 1474445, member: 240838"] I have been vlc and follow bernsteins recommendations for years. I take very small doses of insulin and don't hypo anymore. When I ate carbs I was always on a roller coaster. I love his laws of small numbers principles. I have found my meals and macros to match my dose so I rarely have a meter surprise. I do eat a higher fat calorie diet, I keep carbs under 20 day and moderate amounts of protein as they can raise bs too but just later, usually after my insulin is gone. I need a fatty low / no carb, no protein bf as this time of day I am very insulin resistant. I eat avocado with celery and radish slices for bf and bolus 1/2-1 depending on my fasting. One hour later I take 1/2 unit to stop the morning rise. Lunch is more avocado and lately smashed into a slice of turkey and wrapped up either just like that or on a large piece of lettuce and a handful of veggies Dinner is more avocado ( I'm the avocado queen!) some veggies and a small salad with some protein. I love tuna, chicken, turkey, egg salad with mayo on a large lettuce wrap. I do eat lamb, beef, and often fish. All my carbs come from above ground veg, avocado ( the fat and fiber help stop the spikes and drops and keep my super steady) and a few nuts. My fats are mostly avocado, nuts, pumpkin seeds, mayo, olive oil. If you're used to higher carbs it will be an adjustment but all delishous food. You will see your bs drop so will have to make sure you adjust your insulin accordingly. Best to talk to your diabetes team before changing your diet! I prefer to eat 4 small snack size meals a day and a few nuts in between for snacks. Then I take very small doses of insulin. This helps my digestion too We are all different , have different goals, different schedules etc. I Just found eating smaller more often allowed me to take tiny doses and stops the rollercoaster. But you need to talk to your team and decide what works for you and how to avoid those hypos!!! [/QUOTE]
