Definetly not. In fact these slow absorbing food types make it much easier to control with insulin. Sugar raise your bg in 15 minutes, steak in 6 hours. This cause a much smaller spike and it's much healthier for you. What you do need to figure out, and it will take some time, is how much and when you need to take insulin for your meals. If you got low from what you did now, try less insulin, or injecting later.
