I have just been to the gym for my first proper session and when I checked my levels after it was 14!

I know what you mean about the hypo thing, I had that a few years ago and it's a horrible experiances, I guess it's a case of trial and error and finding out what works, thanks

Hi, I take metformin and have just joined the gym, I have also just had my meds changed to two in the morning and two at night, does anyone now when it's best to take them, before the gym or afterwards? I ate before the gym this morning and took my tablets with breakfast when I got back. Does...

I can totally relate to your post. I am on metformin and thought it gave me a lisence to eat what ever i wanted to. At my last eye test i was told i had background retinapathy which scared the life out of me! It was the wake up call i needed. I had been on the Atkins diet a few years ago and...

I have got some recipes for cookies which i am going to try but want to make yorkshires to go with roast beef, not sure of the carb value but know its the lowest carb "flour" Grazer the ice cream sounds great, can you do it with out an ice cream maker? Also, if you like peanuts there is a great...

Stick with it! You have to be very careful with veg carbs and also i have found that its that wretched exercise that does the trick! I am 9lbs off 3 stone loss and half of that has been thru low carbing. I vary from 1-2lbs to 4-5lbs loss every 2 weeks and it can be disheartening when i only lose...

My coconut flour arrived this morning.....i was sooooo excited, cant wait to try it, so safe to say getting excited about lollys is far better than flour :lol:

I lost 4.5lb this week and hubby lost 3lb. :P making a total loss so far for me of 2 and a half stones! I am now 16st 5lb so only 5lb to my my next "stone"! I go to my practice nurse fortnightly to get weighed, im not paying for it when its free!! When i have a low loss, i get the equivilent...

Hi Benedict, No im not taking Statins

Hi all, Have just returned from the rheumatologist and he thinks i may have Diabetic Myopathy. I have to go for further tests on the nerves although he did a basic test and said the nerves seem ok, however, my my right leg is that of an 80 year old as the muscle wastage is so severe. I also...

My husbands snoring has also improved so maybe it is wheat/carbs etc, very strange but it means a good nights sleep for me!

Unfortunatley i cant run, i have arthritis and now under the rheumatologist for query Lupus....I will continue swimming although getting out of the pool is hell LOL

I agree with Grazer, 20 is very low and although i dont know much about insulin and type1 the symptoms are the same as with Atkins induction. It is a case of testing and finding your level of carb intake. I have been on a lower carb diet for 3 weeks now, have lost 7lbs and dont count carbs,well...

Thanks all, i saw the doc today and he didnt flinch when i told him, all that worry for nothing! My HbA1c was 8.2 but i only started low carbs 3 weeks ago and he agreed to retest in 3 months to see if it comes down. However, i was a bit annoyed that he put me on higher blood pressure tablets...
