I was diagnosed with BS of 17. During the first week I started met per doctors instructions and cut out all carbs. After one week my BS lowered to 7-9. But I started to get twitching, tingling and burning in my feet and hands especially the first couple days. Is this going to be permanent? Now...

I've been getting more frequent and severe colds ever since changing to LCHF and starting metformin..got one that lasted 3 weeks and just two weeks later, I feel my throat acting up again. I don't know if it's the metformin or the big sudden drop in BG since starting LCHF and met that's messing...

Hey guys, I was diagnosed as T2 2.5 weeks ago with bg of 17. Immediately I cut most carbs and started exercise. 2 weeks later my sugars have dropped to 4.5-10. This is a huge range and it varies by the time of day. I just recently learned about post-prandial testing and its importance. This...
