I have gone to the DR a few times for follow ups after my fasting blood sugar was 244 and A1C 11. (I'm in the US), and after cutting carbs my sugar was down to about 80 when checking in the evening and when the DR did blood tests a few times (both in the evening) I would notice when I checked...

I've lost 15 lbs in 5 weeks eating low carb during the week and allow myself a little bit of carbs on the weekend (like Sushi). and take 1 500 MG of Meteformin a day. Today I was feeling shaky. Took my sugar twice at it was 77 and 71. Hadn't taken my meds yet and only thing I ate (hours...

I've been doing pretty well. Lost 12 lbs in a month. Got another blood test and my sugar was 98. When I check it, it usually between 70 and 100 and if I have any carbs it's around 125 to 130 and hour or 2 after but in the morning before I eat and after exercise it's around 150. Is that normal?

I've noticed that since I've been been on Metformin and this LCHF diet I wak up every night and my hands are asleep. I lay on them usually but this didn't happen until recently. I have to shake them out a few times throughout the night. I remember it happening several times many years ago but...

No I meant if it was 128 after and hour it can go up at 2 hours? I know it should go down but how much.

So 2 hours where should it be

It was 78 before and 128 an hour after (I'm in the US)

about an hour after I started eating. I was just wondering what it would be if I ate carbs since I hadn't in 3 weeks.

I took it before I ate and it was 78 (I take 1 500 mg of Metformin a day. I just took it twice now and it was 128. From what I read online that is ok? What's weird is I was sure it was going to be like 200 because my feet felt pins and needles and my mouth felt a bit dry after I eat....maybe...

I will make an appt with the eye Dr but just wondering. I've noticed floaters since I was a teen (no diabetes then) but only when I was outside. I notice more now for the last couple years but again only outside and maybe a little on the computer screen. They don't affect my vision just...

FYI my friend lost a lot of weight eating high high fat like Whoppers at Burger King with no bread. How is that possible? I eat out but always make healthier choices for example... no mayo....light cheese if any.

First week lost 8 (water weight probably) can now wear pants that were tight before....but last 2 weeks only a lb lost. Getting frustrated. I only weigh myself in the morning. I only eat vegetables and protein (chicken, fish, lean ground meat, small portion of steak), only a little cheese...

My favorite thing to have once a week but trying to avoid now because of the rice. Do you think it can be worked into the LCHF diet?

Thanks. I know weight fluxuates throughout the day....I only weigh myself in the morning.

Another day and no change on scale....I went from 236 lbs to 227 in a week and now 5 days at 228....eat a piece of turkey bacon and coffee (creamer, no sugar) for breakfast....salad for lunch (consists of lettuce, cucumbers, artichoke, pieces of turkey and ham, and a small amount of cheese)...
