On a side note, I have learned a few other things about my blood glucose with wearing a continual monitor. Protein is my friend. I know that many people out there feel the need to limit protein strictly. This is not true for me. Protein lowers my blood glucose post meal. Now, I know there are some folks out there who will say that is because protein raises insulin. That is true. But I’m not trying to live a life of NO insulin, I’m trying to live a life of LOW insulin. I’m not going to fret over the amount of insulin needed to cover a blood glucose of 85-95. With decent amounts of protein, I feel better, can workout physically hard, and see better results with my weight. Once again, your response to protein my differ, but for me, it is my friend.
