[QUOTE="Robbity, post: 1000652, member: 93179"] Well, perhaps it might be a good idea to monitor your glucose levels if you want to try to discover what's going on? It's standard practice for most type 2s to be told they don't need to test if on metformin, but many of us still choose do so regardless. That way we can find out what foods are good or bad for our glucose levels, and so can get better control of them. The only way you're going to find out if they're going to go low on a low carb diet is: (a) buy a meter and use it to test before and after meals, and (b) adjust your carbohydrate intake depending on what your meter tells you about how your body's responding to what you've eaten We can only give general advice, and that will often be as a result of what you can tell us about what you eat and what your glucose levels do as a result. Alternatively you could try just reducing the quantity of some of the higher carb foods you're currently eating by a smaller amount - a reduced carb diet instead of going completely low one.
