Hi All,
If you have read my previous posts ,they are USUALLY about my HIGH BG numbers and my ever increasing weight!!
Without repeating myself , I am prepared to make the move to a LC/HF diet. I followed Dr. Bernstein's a few years back but I had LOST a great deal of weight prior to following that , so I just stayed the same. I am wondering If someone can please give me a run down of their 3 meals plus snacks a day. I am NOT sure how exactly to start. Dr. Bernsteins diet does NOT tell you exactly how much protein to eat. I eat alot. 1 year ago I started taking Levemir and Apedra and metformin. I was told I am now type 1. I am always starving!! I also work out 4 to 5 times a week.THANK YOU!!!

Shanny, Once again you are here to help me ( and everyone else here on this forum) Bless you for that and your vast knowledge!! Thank you for your help!!Yes, you are right I was first Dx's Type 1 , then 1.5 , now type 1. Had to switch endo's in order to get a peptide C test. Results I think were 23...whatever that means. I have NEVER had chicken wings for a snack. I fear that I would be eating too much.That is why I stayed the same in past and didn't lose weight. I lost weight upon DX because I ate VERY little. Metformin made me sick to my stomach. I was popping Gravol like candies. I was genuinely afraid to eat. Once I started insulin I started gaining. I am at my heaviest and it feels horrible.!! How much of anything can we eat.? Egs in A.M. ...How many?? Lunch..What to eat?? snacks...how many??

WOW!!! What an education I am getting!! I didn't know that I have to consider bolusing for carbs.....????
I wish Dr. B did list amounts that promote weight loss. I do everything overboard..including food quantities. I know too much protein can affect weight loss.
Thank you Gang, for your advise, help and knowledge!!

OOPPSSS...My Mistake

You still use Apidra at mealtime? How do you know how much to use if you aren't accounting for the carbs you eat?

OOPPPSSS.....Sorry, I meant I count carbs NOT Protein!!!
