I have been on insulin for about 15 years. I can't get my blood sugars under control. I take 86 units of Lantus twice a day; 50 units of novolog at each meal; 1000mg metformin twice a day and 30mg actos once a day. My sugars run 280-500. The new dietician I just saw put me on 90 grams of carb at EACH meal (I think this is really high!). All the doctors say is "take more insulin". I could eat 24/7. I am 54 years old, female, 5'10", 275 pounds.

Hi, I found a link recently which was discussing research on the impact of high protein diets on subjects with and without kidney disease. They concluded that high protein did not cause kidney disease, and neither did it cause most kidney disease to deteriorate.. I will post the link if I can find it again.
Controlling BG levels is essential to preventing kidney complications, and has been shown to reverse disease in many cases.

If im planning on going away for the day, or im not gonna be home, finding somethign i can bring to eat can turn to be quite troublesome.
If you have a refrigerator, you can buy frozen veggies that you can cook in a microwave - assuming that you have one. You can buy frozen veggies for a fraction of the cost of fresh and they are just as good for you. Add a meat, eggs, dairy, etc to get your protein, bread or cereal to get your whole grains a serving or 2 of fruit every day, some healthy fat, such as olive oil, and avocado in your salad.
Me too! I got referred to a nutritionist and she has helped me a lot. She has me on a high protein diet I'm very sensitive to carbs so for every meal wether is breakfast or snack, lunch or dinner I have to have protein.

And eliminating pastas, rice, bread switching to Splenda sugar or equal anything zero in sweetner. Switching to Almond milk even for coffee.

So, how do we avoid insulinogenic effect of high protein, and how to not promote gluconeogenesis? The best diet for this is LCHF. This means low carb, moderate protein and high fat. We should be eating between 0.5 to 1 gram protein per pound of lean body mass. A less active person closer to 0.5 and more active person closer to 1. In other words, if a person weighs 150 pounds, and if they are an active person, they should eat about 150 grams protein per day.
