[QUOTE="ButtterflyLady, post: 934171, member: 43498"] Welcome :) I agree with daibell, low carbing would lower your BGs more than metformin would. And I think you may need a referral to a diabetes specialist. If your GP isn't interested in referring you, then you might want to look for a new GP. The stakes are just too high to put up with substandard care. I will tag [USER=25759]@daisy1[/USER] who has some info she can post for people new to the forum. Is your blood pressure under 130/80? (That's the recommended maximum for people with diabetes). High BP is one cause of stroke, another is obstructive sleep apnoea, which is often missed by GPs and is treatable. Have you had specialist care to try and find out what caused your strokes and how the risk can be reduced? [/QUOTE]
