There are bolus type options available on your pump that can be helpful in handling the rare high-fat

meal. Before using bolus type options, you should be at ease using basic pump features and consult with

your healthcare professional.

rotein and blood glucose

Protein has little effect on blood glucose when eaten in moderate amounts, and normally does not require

any insulin.

Sources of protein include:

• meat • fish • poultry

• eggs • cheese • peanut butter

• tofu • dried beans • dried peas

Protein needs are the same for people with and without diabetes, unless kidney disease is present. Most

people eat more protein than they need. Protein does not need to be part of every meal. In general,

140-200 grams of protein a day is enough. If you have high cholesterol or are trying to lose weight, eat

leaner proteins such as chicken and fish.

Other things that affect blood glucose

Fiber may slow down the rise in blood glucose after a meal. Fiber grams are not absorbed. They can be

subtracted from the Total Carbohydrate amount for foods or meals with more than 5 grams of fiber. Fiber

is an important part of a healthy diet. Suggestions for fiber intake are the same for people with and

without diabetes.

Sodium (salt) has no effect on blood glucose. Moderate sodium intake is suggested for people with or

without diabetes. If you have high blood pressure or are affected by sodium, limit the amount of sodium in

your diet.

Alcohol can cause low blood glucose by slowing down the release of glucose from the liver. This glucose

release keeps blood glucose in target between meals. Therefore, food should be eaten while having a

drink with alcohol. The carbohydrate content of different types of alcohol can be found in carbohydrate

counting books. Consult your healthcare professional for guidelines on bolusing for alcohol.

Vitamins and minerals have no effect on blood glucose.
