[QUOTE="catapillar, post: 1731205, member: 32394"] 1) understand that a low carb diet doesn't eliminate the blood sugar roller coaster. In the absence of carbs, your body wants to find glucose from somewhere. It will do this by turning protein eaten into glucose via gluconogenesis. This is a process that takes time. So you might have a low carb meal and be perfectly in target 2hr post prandial, but by 4hrs you could be on the climb. Gluconogenisis can be somewhat erratic and therefore difficult to bolus for. 2) have you experimented with pre bolusing to try to manage the roller coaster while eating carbs. Just as different times of day can require different I:C ratios, they can require different pre bolus timings. Different carb meals can also require different pre bolus timings. [/QUOTE]
