I’m not on statins, only metformin

Yes I have but not to 40grams. I’ve recently gone vegetarian and I’m struggling.

How are you BM now? since cutting down in carbs how have your BM been?

I have cut down in carbs. Though I’m vegetarian recently and finding it hard to prepare meals that will give me energy.

I don’t recommend this to anyone this is what I have done. I recently lost nearly 2 stone and my blood sugars were the same even on Metfromin. Perhaps slightly better from 15 to12. Metfromin made me feel sluggish and tired and so I stopped taking my Metfromin 6 mts now and my blood sugars are...

My HBAIC was 104 which is 15.9 in old money.

Thank you. I was thinking along the lines of pasta and potato’s. Duh!!!! As homer would say!
