Hope you're ok?.. Do you have any lucozade?

Sounds like you're heading for a hypo, do you know what to do?

@Robbity how do you check your keytone levels please?

@Robbity Really appreciate your friendly advice, many thanks :)

I cannot comment on anything to do with your epilepsy... However, I do take diuretic medication for my bp, mine is called bendroflumethiazide. On the leaflet, there's no indication that they can be the cause of diabetes, but it does say about side effects on metabolism, might cause worsening...

Thank you @TorqPenderloin.. That's quite a relief. Very thankfully, I am not on insulin. I am managing to keep my bg between 5.9 and 6.8 each day, all thanks to great advice on this forum, and from kind and helpful folks like yourself. I am very grateful.. and so relieved to be able to ask...

Hi folks, I hope someone can clarify something for me please? I am on my second month of metformin, the first was called Gluciet sr, which mentioned nothing about ketosis itself, only ketoacidosis. Is this completely different from ketosis? The current prescription came and it's a metformin...

Welcome... It's a terrible shock to be diagnosed, we all understand the anxiety you are feeling. There's so much to take in, I am only three months diagnosed, made a few mistakes with foods, but you learn what spikes your bg and move on.. Everyone'a different, what works for one might not be...

6.1 for me this morning

Wow... many many thanks for those links!! There's some excellent reading to be had isn't there?! I can already see which way to go regarding the amount of fats and proteins, although I have been losing weight, I am not quite hitting the right numbers for fat intake, i.e. too low, and a bit too...

Thank you for your input Brunneria, I will definitely be checking those links out! I think to put my mind at rest about the meds., I will see if I can get a telephone consultation with my gp next week. Must admit that my weight loss has slowed down since starting the metformin! I thought that...

Thanks for the tip about the flax by the way... but is there an upper limit for protein intake for low carbing?

Thank you Bluetit1802, do you think that I would be better off without metformin? I am wondering how to put it to my gp? My levels are averaging 6.8 on the metformin, yet before the metformin, I was getting average 5.5-6.5! I understand that metformin can help reduce the fatty liver problem...

Hi folks, I hope someone can help me please? I have been low carbing for a couple of months, but I am not truly sure on the ratios of protein, fat and fibre. I have a lot of weight to lose, about 8 stone to go, already lost 4 stone though. I usually manage to stick to 50g carbs a day and around...
