These medications aren’t an absolute contradiction for low carb. It may still be appropriate but will need a great deal more care and monitoring to avoid hypos and medication to be reduced/stopped in conjunction with your dr/nurse knowledge and guidance. In fact the reduction in quantity or cessation is pretty much the goal for many alongside more even and stable bgl. Too often people on these medications are forced to eat carbs to match their meds, rather than medicate appropriate to their chosen diet.
The fact that some type 1 on insulin low carb kind of proves it’s possible.
I see that you have cut what I said down - thus making it (more) controversial.
The whole sentence was: " Better to rely on a forum like this one rather than a Health Care Professional who is dead set against a Low Carb approach - unless on Insulin or Glic that is."
I didn't think that I needed to explain that for those on Insulin or Insulin stimulating medication, reducing Carbs drastically against wishes and without cooperation of a HCP is positively dangerous - unless the patient is an expert at modifying their own medication dosage to match their requirements.
