[QUOTE="JoKalsbeek, post: 1901326, member: 401801"] I cook at our home, and my husband doesn't low carb with me. (He's thin as a rail and has a very high metabolism). The only real difference at dinner is that he'll have potatoes, and I won't. I just have a double portion of veggies. It doesn't require a change in cooking, just proportions are different. Breakfast, if I have it at all, is eggs with bacon (your family may have toast, you could skip it?) or just tea or coffee, lunch usually a salad... Skip the croutons. During a rheumatism flare-up I had to ask my husband to cut my food on the plate for me because I couldn't, so I know being dependant on others for food isn't all that great, but sometimes we have no choice. But maybe you could discuss little alterations with them? Where they have potatoes and you have more veggies instead for instance... It doesn't require anything huge or an extra meal seperately cooked. it could be the road to ditching the metformin. (And there are other meds, should you require them after all. If your GP or nurse can't discuss them, ask for a referral to a specialist. No need to suffer!!!). Good luck! [/QUOTE]
