I keep wondering if this has to do with the difference between MDI and pumping, but who knows. Maybe some are more glucose sensitive than others. Once we started using the TAG equation (total available glucose) to bolus my son it's helped a great deal.Sarahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03210820513382353417noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3363643861299490328.post-84229607419940294272011-03-29T07:28:28.448-07:002011-03-29T07:28:28.448-07:00Allison--that's true.

I guess I just feel like most people do need to take fat and protein into account and that guy was completely disregarding it and putting diabetes into a "one size fits all" approach, which was bugged me the most.

For instance, I can eat eggs and most meats without bolusing. Does that make you wrong? No. Does that make me wrong? No. For me, most proteins are a free food. But that might not be the same for someone else. Likewise, some people I know can eat bagels, cereals, potatoes, or whatever just fine, but others have a really hard time with it. Sometimes it's just worth cutting it out in order to save the headache of having to deal with it. It shouldn't be a blanket statement on all PWDs, but we should all realize that our bodies sometimes react different... and that's OK. :)Allisonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09845901120926051578noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3363643861299490328.post-47004969689235339682011-03-24T15:52:52.356-07:002011-03-24T15:52:52.356-07:00Great point, and you are bang on. I agree with Re...Great point, and you are bang on. I agree with Reyna I have tried the extreme but like my lasagna too much. On a serious note, even protein is converted to glucose eventusally and as you said, can delay and really effect sugar levels.

I believe that "belly fat" is also blamed for BG swings and hence our "obesity epidemic". I usually try to avoid any severe diets...or modes of "thinking" ... As with everything in this life, I think using common sense and "moderation" is key.<br /><br />With so many sources of information and blogs...etc...it is easy to see how one could get lost in the myths and falsehoods.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00895126112651188056noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3363643861299490328.post-15176654089780334762011-03-24T01:32:02.674-07:002011-03-24T01:32:02.674-07:00it's really overwhelming when there's so m...it's really overwhelming when there's so much information out there isn't it? it's tricky to figure out where the truth lies... and really the only way of figuring it out is to experiment with what works best for you!
