Do You TAG? If so, how?

Always! If your diet is at a keto level and you’re T1, this is a must. For my gut, I calculate 60% of the protein as carbs.

I handle protein depending upon the circumstances:

  • Small amounts of protein don’t need a bolus if I’ll be active after my meal.

  • A protein bolus 1-1.5 hrs after the first bite of protein. Calculated as above.

  • Alcohol prevents gluconeogenesis (GNG). This is handy for larger amounts of protein.

I have rolled fat into my basal as I’m MDI and it digests so slowly…
