Gang – this started in the thread on "Ketosis versus Ketoacidosis"_<\/a> and deserves a thread of its own. I’ll post my lead in question and scenario I’m trying for your thoughts and experience. If I may ask that, though discussing the role of carbs in this equation is totally necessary, can we steer clear of the ‘philosophy angle’ of lo carbing as a BG control approach in this thread, please? Nuff said. And thanks!<\/font><\/font>

\nBut it just sorta clicked when you said, Jen, that calorie in calorie burned might be as simple as it is – since as a T2 injecting insulin I’m sort of ‘even-ing’ out the variables with the carbs to the point where my BG level going high isn’t the issue. Exercise IS a variable in BG level so I have to factor exercise into my bolus amounts. But I’m also still convinced that ‘fat intake’ level is a variable in this equation and MUST factor into my plan.<\/p>\n

For now-here’s my plan to drop the next 10lbs this month– I’ll be modifying my carb intake at breakfast on workout days (I work out right after bfast) up from 10g to 25g and using 1% milk in my coffee and lo fat breakfast meats. I may even try the Atkins shakes instead with a hash brown or an apple or banana blended into the shake — we’ll see.<\/p>\n

But then at lunch I’ll drop back my carb intake to no more than 20g carbs and 25g carbs at dinner. I’ll move to ‘lo fat’ products on dairy stuff, etc. That’ll be a max carb intake of 70g\/day for this period — AND -lo fatting ‘a bit’ — I’ll adjust my morning bolus on days that I exercise by the ‘factor’ as outlined in the "Using Insulin" and "Think Like a Pancreas" books — that should keep BG levels normal and still allow me to burn some fat.<\/p>\n

I’m using the FAT burn settings on the Elliptical and Recumbent Bike and will use hi reps, lo weight on my weight routines. For now I’ll keep my Lantus at 28u and see if I end up going low after the exercise regimen. I might need to cut back on it too. Don’t know.<\/p>\n

Thanks for any input you could offer from your experiences. Of course I really need ‘experiences’ mainly from people injecting insulin and possibly even moreso from T2’s – though you T1’s can help ‘us’ HUGE too! — more context from the other thread in the next message.<\/p><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
