Taco Bell Protein Bowls

We don't love fast food, but there are certainly times it's handy. I heard about these protein bowls from Taco Bell so we decided to give them a try leaving off the high-carb ingredients. Samuel had this for the first time yesterday and his BG spiked really badly. Another low-carb mom suggested that we leave off the avocado ranch sauce, so we gave it another try today and it worked beautifully!

Here was our order:

 

Chicken Protein Bowl: no beans, no rice, no avocado ranch: extra chicken and sour cream. I ordered 1 crunchy taco and dumped the insides into his Protein Bowl and tossed the shell. 

 

Diluting ~ Sterilization Liquid

Something to think about when diluting insulin.  When you buy empty, sterile vials to dilute into they will always have a little liquid inside left behind from the sterilization process.  It's completely normal and not harmful.  

But the point of diluting is to be able to do corrections with as much accuracy and consistency as possible, right? For this reason, I always draw out the sterilization liquid before I dilute.  Sometimes I get very little out (usually just a few units), but today I just drew out 18u of that liquid.  😲

While I don't know that this would have made a huge difference had I not removed it, I'd rather not find out. 😉
