@Kyambala if you are able to exercise, then do. It wont reduce your weight, but will aid insulin sensitivity. You will be surprised how little impact metformin has on your BG. It isn't a direct BG lowering drug. It does try to prevent secretion by the liver, and improve insulin sensitivity, hence no hypos with it. If you are injecting insulin you will need your Health Care Peeps on board with LCHF. If you reduce carbs, you reduce the quantity of insulin required to bring sugars down. Injecting insulin when your sugars are already low(ish) may cause a hypo
I am fortunate, as I dont inject insulin, so I can go Low Carb without undue risk
Thanks walnut_face. That is very interesting information. The reason my exercise has dropped so much s because it has been too cold lately to go for walks. Selfish yes. In Uganda the temperature is always between 60 and 90 degrees F. Ideal temperature for being outside. Central heating in my flat and freezing temperatures outside does not encourage me to go outside except for shopping.
BUT, the sun is shining today and right now I am going for a walk.
Bye everybody.
