[QUOTE="skal, post: 938253, member: 109463"] Thanks for your replies! Yeah, I was super positive :happy: and I still am. Low carbing itself is all good, I'm much less obsessive about food, eating less and generally feel less bloated, more even keeled (I'm a bit like a barrel of gunpowder temper wise:***:). Also, I still have high hopes of this situation improving but I'm impatient... when I did it first, I was newly diagnosed mid thirties and now I'm 6 years diagnosed, been very naughty and over 40. It's bound to be slower progress... :confused: I've reviewed all my days of eating last week or so and my carb intake has varied between 10 and 30 g per day and there gas been no real difference in my trends. It seems my morning bg has gone from about 12 + to about 8-10 and then it steadily comes down during the day to 7-8. My metformin dose is maxed out too.:facepalm: I'm going to knock booze out apart from a glass of red wine here and there :bigtears: and will have a few days of just cutting even more carbs out. I'm quite determined and even today I stood in front of my a chilled heel, paprika crisps and garlic dip and pondered if I fancied it. I didn't. :***: actually felt a bit sickened by the thought of crunching away on them. Patience is a virtue they say...;):cool::eek::rolleyes::banghead::cyclops::grumpy::happy::hilarious::joyful::shifty::wacky::wideyed::woot::***::yuck: [/QUOTE]
