[QUOTE="ickihun, post: 1539229, member: 196960"] I'm still losing on low carb, low fat with occasional fatty treat. When I say low carb, I mean less than 150gs. It's still good for occasional breadcrumbered fish with kids. Metformin taken long term acts like my wonder diet. I only lose on metformin after months of taking it. Once it starts it's heaven. Averaging 1kg per week loss. So maybe my diet is irrespective of metformin working better with less carb spikes to fight. I've noticed I only lose if my bgs have been excellent for most of that week. So taking just under 100units of insulin per day doesn't give me added weight either. Supplement r-ala helped with insulin finding it's path quicker but no weight loss on it by less insulin. My loss is down to long term metformin and the correct amount of insulin for me, at present. Ps. Consultant doesn't expect me to become insulin free after bariatric surgery. I do wonder how much more less I'll need thou? He advised me to reduce insulin on liver shrinking diet but he told me yogurt and milk diet but dietician said should be veg based for diabetics, not milk and yogurt for none diabetics. Veg etc it will be but god knows how much. Only low low carb puts my liver right but palpitations to boot. We'll see. [/QUOTE]
