I have to admit my blood glucose levels are usually better when I am on a break as my routine is consistent day in day out - the exercise level doesn't change because I do none. But I'm not using a low carb diet then, just using a diet which sees me eat the same amounts of carbs at meals so that I'm not changing anything on a day to day basis.

Also in terms of the protein to glucose thing - I thought that didn't happen? It was something I was always told when I was diagnosed (we used to call 10 g of CHO and 7 g of protein, carbohydrate and protein "choices") but I thought that had been found to be scientifically inaccurate?
