Insulin effectiveness

This is definitely a possibility. A person’s liver can compensate for the lack of carbs by putting out glycogen. It is not something that affects everyone the same.

Increased carb sensitivity on low carb diet

So I’m managing very well on ~50g carbs a day very rarely going over 120 after meals. Today I decided to treat myself with Pho soup. I took 3 units Humalog and had half portion of rice vermicelli in the soup. Result…213 after 1 hour and 244 (yikes!!) after 2 hours. I mean there was not that much of pasta in the soup for my taste. I just bolused 3 units to bring that sucker down. Considering there was aprox. 45 grams of carbs in pasta this result indicates that my insulin:carb ratio is like 1: no…
