      Does dietary protein affect your glucose levels?
      So, I ordinarily would answer "never" to this question. I can go on a no carb diet for days and need no bolus insulin whatsoever (I still must take a basal dose). For example, I can eat eggs, bacon, and other "breakfast" meats for breakfast, I can eat a cheeseburger (lettuce wrap bun) for lunch and even eat a 16oz steak for dinner and not need a single unit of bolus insulin. That said, protein drinks and protein bars are a different story. Even a small amount of carbs mixed in (say about 6-8g) will drive my glucose up slightly. Because this increase is significantly larger than the carbs would induce alone, obviously, the protein does cause some increase.

      For me always - it may take hours, but it will eventually go up.

      Said I’m not sure. I mostly have some protein with every meal. How would I know for sure that protein is the impact and not some other of the 100s of factors that affect BG?

      Protein itself doesn’t affect my glucose levels but it can affect my digestion of the carbs

      Does dietary protein affect your glucose levels?
      I know it does theoretically of course I attempt to always eat 2 protein servings in am as CB it flattens the post brkfast rise of glucose ( a tip I got from Gary scheiner yrs ago ) and eat 2 ounces protein for lunch and 3 for dinner routinely. If I eat more protein sometimes I add to my bolus as I find that it does cause a higher blood sugar. These are habits I have developed over 48 yrs also if have snack at night I will us include some protein , milk or cheese or peanut butter tsp.

      If there were a cure for diabetes, I’d most look forward to ________ without it.
      Not having to drag a wagonload of diabetic supplies (testing equipment (CGM), syringes, insulin, pump equipment, backups for everything incase of failures) for every trip I take more than an hour or two from home.

      To what extent will the 2025-2030 Dietary Guidelines for Americans influence your eating habits?
      Absolutely zero, none! The new dietary guidelines are absolutely ridiculous. They are based upon the whims of "non-scientific" people and facts. I will continue to follow the old dietary guidelines, which were developed on more scientific approaches. I DO NOT TAKE MY DIETARY GUIDANCE FROM RFK JR., who is unqualified for his position!

      None. Nix. Nill. Neh-heh. The wisdom of science and the wisdom or perspicacity of where to use it are seemingly lost on people with worms in their brains who authorized the 2025-2030 version. (˶˃𐃷˂˶)

      I've been carnivore, high fat, low/zero carb for years. The less insulin I need the better.

      I use 80 because the time lag is so great. If I were to make it 70 I’d already be sweating by the time I got the alert. Then there’s the delay in the glucose taking effect. Altogether, I believe it’s about 30 minutes.

      Again, my low is set at 70 mg/dL. My high (from the other day) is set at 180 mg/dL – – I think I wrote mmol/dl, I was tired! In either case this is not set as a “range,” but merely a number!

      I like to keep mine higher than a normal range. Anytime I get an arrow or two straight down I want time to fix the problem before I get to zombie stage.
