I was diagnosed type 2 in November with a HBA1C of 85. I am on 2 x 500mg metformin tablets and following a low carb diet for a little while before diagnosis and have lost three stone and my blood glucose now is below 8.5 most of the time and averaging around 7.5 .
However my batteries are still quite low , I work three days a week and find I cannot stay up much beyond 9 o clock (walking around 10,000 steps a day as much as possible ) . I also feel the cold easily now with my feet often feeling really cold (I've had foot check and all normal) when I used to run very hot.
Is this all part and parcel of the low carb diet, losing a lot of weight and early days with type 2 and metformin? I am expecting to feel full of energy again a bit too soon? I have a hobby that takes me out a few evenings a week and I haven't been able to go for the last couple of months because I'm so tired in the evening l
