[QUOTE="Maggie/Magpie, post: 1347027, member: 347792"] Hi and Welcome to the forum. Relatively newly diagnosed as well, only 3 months in. The vision problem occurs for me when my blood sugars goes up but provided I keep them at a reasonable level is no problem. I was scepticle as well about the LCHF diet at first but decided to give it a go. It's worked a lot for me, in 3 months Ive reduced my HBA1C from 53 to 40, lost 1 stone 9 lbs and have blood sugars in the range of 5.5 -7. So give it a try your self, don't consider it yet another diet but as a life style change it seems to be easier to accept some how. I too have a lot of weight to loose and I'm on metformin slow release. The most common side effect of metformin is loose bowels if that happens ask your Gp for the slow release type as its not such a issue. It is also recognised that metformin in some people actually helps with weight loss so for us larger people is a good one to be on. Good luck with it all Maggie [/QUOTE]
