    Viv, personally I would speak with your doctor, but whether they actually know about the diet or are interested in it is a different matter. I came off my metformin two weeks before i started the diet and as you can see by my bg they hve been very good. I havent had hypos etc and if Im honest...

    Just read interesting article about muscle giving better insulin sensitivity, I would agree with that tbh when i train i do cardio and resistance work and different specific muscle groups every session. I think the secret to it is find an equally determined training partner, I go with my...

    hi gav As far as stopping my meds before diet, from what i understand if you are lowering your bg sufficiently and on metformin(metfartin would be a better name tbh) then you could have hypos as it could drop to low. I stopped before xmas to see what would happen and on my first day my fbg was...
