Ok thanks!

I’m drinking 3 litres water a day plus other drinks tea, zero coke etc. Salt may be a problem now you mention it?! I was meant to be on 1000mg metformin but my DN said no point as my levels were good and I’ve lost a lot of weight since do 12-4-18 , about 25lbs

Because I’m fat :)

I feel a bit weak, not much energy - but not sweating or tremors like the other day ( although I had fasted, fasted for 24 hours - zero food) I am not on anything other than metformin or Xenical.

Hi everyone :) Please can anyone recommend any foods that won’t spike me but will raise my BG level as the last few days it has been low 3.9 - 4.0 Thank you!

Is that safe to be that low? I was 3.9 yesterday after a 24 hour fast and panicked, as my DN said I wouldn’t go under 4!

4.7 today, happier with that, been low 4’s last couple of days

Thanks for your story :) glad you recovered!

Thank you :)

Yes I’ve heard there are bad side effects from statins, so maybe, hopefully, this is what it is. I was always told you can’t stop taking them once you start :/ I’m seeing my DN Monday so will run stopping them past her. But in the meantime I think I will not take them, the agony is unbearable...

Okay thanks @Karen Dwyer !

Hi all, would really appreciate some advice. For those who don’t know my history, I was diagnosed T2 on 12 April 2018. I found this forum :) yay. And have been following suggestions to lower my BS levels and lose weight through LCHF diet. I currently do Atkins style - less than 20g a day and it...

Thank you, would you mind sharing a typical days food and carbohydrates/fat rate with us all please? Thank you! I personally am at the stage where I am on LCHF or medium fat diet as I have a lot of weight to lose, but it is coming off. @Guzzler recent post was an eye opener, as I haven’t thought...

4.0 @2.30pm when I woke up properly after a very stressful night of broken sleep (luckily not working). Was hugely dehydrated :(

None that I'm aware of Petaluk. I do have some serious heart problems - I have two mechanical valves and a pacemaker in my heart - but they're nothing to do with my diabetes, but were caused by having had undiagnosed and therefore untreated rheumatic fever as a teenager. When I had my first...
