    Will try and do this. I don't like the carb-less food.

    I have never added them all up before, but just done today's and it is about 250g - which is a typical day.

    Hello Thank you - this has been very useful. Well done on getting your Hba1c down without tablets. [emoji1]

    No energy & weak muscles

    Hello Thank you for this - yes I do believe my tiredness is all/or somewhat related to my high sugars. This morning, after a small bowl of bran flakes (supposedly healthy!) I got up to 14! Iam on the max no. of tablets (before ending up on Insulin) and I think I now realise the ONLY way to deal...

    Thank you for the link - but the tiredness started before I was taking them. I did read that Metformin can cause this, but stopped it for a couple of weeks & it made no difference.

    No, not taking statins.

    I didn't know dapagliflozin shows lower levels on the meter than the true picture. I just assumed the nurse checked the ketone levels at the yearly review - although this was before I started taking dapagliflozin. I shall get checked. Thanks.

    I've had many blood tests over the last 6 months & thyroid vit & minerals all checked. I think they might only do something the day I collapse in the street!

    My last HBa1c was 80! But since the dapagliflozin was added, I test myself and levels are near normal. Yes, they do occasionally go to 12 after a meal, but I'm assuming this shouldn't be a problem? I would love to totally do LCHF - but don't like the alternative food!

    No energy & weak muscles

    Hello I have been type 2 for just over a year, but ever since diagnosis my energy levels have gradually gone down, and all my muscles getting weaker. I have had every blood test possible at the Drs - for anything that could be causing this - other than diabetes but all have come back normal...

    Metformin substitute

    Thank you for posting this - Iam currently in the exact same position with problems with muscles in my legs. Nurse & Dr saying it's nothing to do with Metformin! Especially having probs with backside muscles.

    Weakness feeling

    I just came on, to ask the exact same thing! Iam on Metformin & Vipidia. Legs have been getting progressively weaker ever since taking Metformin, but Nurse says it's nothing to do with the meds. This last week I've nearly fallen down the stairs, twice.
