I have gone to the DR a few times for follow ups after my fasting blood sugar was 244 and A1C 11. (I'm in the US), and after cutting carbs my sugar was down to about 80 when checking in the evening and when the DR did blood tests a few times (both in the evening) I would notice when I checked...

I've been doing pretty well. Lost 12 lbs in a month. Got another blood test and my sugar was 98. When I check it, it usually between 70 and 100 and if I have any carbs it's around 125 to 130 and hour or 2 after but in the morning before I eat and after exercise it's around 150. Is that normal?

I've noticed that since I've been been on Metformin and this LCHF diet I wak up every night and my hands are asleep. I lay on them usually but this didn't happen until recently. I have to shake them out a few times throughout the night. I remember it happening several times many years ago but...

I took it before I ate and it was 78 (I take 1 500 mg of Metformin a day. I just took it twice now and it was 128. From what I read online that is ok? What's weird is I was sure it was going to be like 200 because my feet felt pins and needles and my mouth felt a bit dry after I eat....maybe...

I will make an appt with the eye Dr but just wondering. I've noticed floaters since I was a teen (no diabetes then) but only when I was outside. I notice more now for the last couple years but again only outside and maybe a little on the computer screen. They don't affect my vision just...

First week lost 8 (water weight probably) can now wear pants that were tight before....but last 2 weeks only a lb lost. Getting frustrated. I only weigh myself in the morning. I only eat vegetables and protein (chicken, fish, lean ground meat, small portion of steak), only a little cheese...

My favorite thing to have once a week but trying to avoid now because of the rice. Do you think it can be worked into the LCHF diet?

I always seem to stick to a diet better when I allow myself 1 indulgent on the weekend. This weekend might be popcorn at the movies....I just worry it will affect my blood sugar a lot... I've already gotten my blood sugar under control and lost 8 lbs in a week according to my scale. Anyone...

Took my blood sugar this morning and it was 98 then I exercised for a half hour, took it after and it was 130? Not horrible but still went up a bit. I felt a bit shaky so I thought it was down....but I guess it was from the weights I used....I haven't eaten yet today.

I read here and online that Metformin takes weeks to work but my Dr and also a nurse I spoke to said it works right away? My blood sugar has gotten to normal range on a low carb diet within a week....they said it was because of the meds helping....I thought it was just my diet.

I"d search the topic but my search feature isn't working. I was diagnosed last week and got my blood sugars down but the last few days I need reading glasses to focus on my phone or other small print by the afternoon/evening but in the morning I don't? My blood sugar when my eyes were blurry...

I've been no carb pretty much 5 days now and on meds....my blood sugars have been a lot better in the last 2 days I had blurred vision when looking at my phone and reading labels....like I can't focus. Is this normal as blood sugars change?

It's my 4th day and I've been to the bathroom six times already today with diarrhea. Is this normal at first?

I get a bad headache about 2 hours after I take it followed by a few bouts diarrhea. The last few nights I've also become very nauseous and break into a cold sweat. The Dr lessened it to 250 MG twice a day instead d 500 and it isn't helping. I've tried only eating a little with it and also a...

Is this normal? I had the worst headache after dinner (just chicken and veggies from Chipotle nothing else) and took Tylenol....10 minutes later I felt like I was getting a panic attack and had to run to the bathroom with diarrhea...I then felt shaky and very nauseous. It's seems to be...

Instead of breakfast and dinner or does it need to be spread out more? Also last night I wasn't hungry so I just ate a piece of deli meat turkey and took the meds with that. Is that OK sometimes?
