No it's not giving me any problems. I think I want to feel I'm more in control rather than the Med's are controlling me, I also reduced Med's to this 1000 level 2 years ago and would like to get back there . I have had a very badly controlled year and Med's increased in line with that at my last...

The Metformin at 2000g is reputed to have much better effect than lower doses (step change) and although I have adjusted the time that i take it, i will continue with it. It is unlikely to cause a hypo, so why the hurry to drop it? Is it gastric problems?

Thanks @Oldvatr I'm hoping to be on just 1000mg and stick with that tbh. I hate 2000. Not sure why it's such an issue really!

Thanks [emoji38] I will be phoning my dn tomorrow. She said at my last check up that she's happy for me to adjust as necessary ,, so I'm not worried about the professional advice bit as she's okayed this already. Just not sure over how long it should take. I will give her a ring tomorrow to see...

Hi everyone. Could I ask some advice please. I have been lchf since 1st January and my bs have dropped from 9-12 to regular 4's before meals and 6-7 after. I'm well chuffed with these results, I am prescribed trajenta (1 X 5mg a day) and 2000mg of sr metformin.. I stopped the traj last week...

I suffered terribly with this, then discovered how eating 'good bacteria' foods can help. Then changed this to a bacteria tablet from Holland and Barrett (Acidophilus ) ... This stopped most wind and completely got rid of the nasty smell !!! [emoji79]

I usually look through the latest threads that are relevant to me to see if anything interesting has come up ( usually recipes in hflc tbh!) Maybe add my fbg and comment on anything I'm interested in [emoji38]

Welcome grimmfast! These forums are a fantastic place to grab loads of info. Good start with monitoring bloods.. It doesn't take long to realize how the carbs are the enemy!! Looks like your doing the right thing. I've been working on lowering mine and focus on one meal at a time. Test before...

Thanks everyone. It's really inspiring to see these amazing differences that are happening !! I'm lchf and my bg have dropped from 11-12 2 hrs after meals to 7-8 . This is after nearly 2 weeks.

Wow.. Well done 13lizanne. That's my dream! Med free!!

Thanks timerich. So he still has insulin and metf. But in lower doses?

Hi everyone. I was wondering if anyone has been on Med's for years, and has taken nhs advice re high carb meals, and then decided to follow lchf diet and been able to stop Med's completely. As a long term t2 (17 years) I just would like to know others experiences Tia. [emoji106]
