Alternatives to standard medication

I am a 74 year old male and I have had Type II diabetes without remission 2017, and I have a bad reaction to all the standard diabetic medication such as Metformin and Jardiance, and my low carbohydrate diet is not bringing my weight down. Can you please suggest anything?

Would you like to share details of your diet - we might be able to suggest a few easy tweaks.

Hello @MMcNiel - do you have a blood glucose tester? I found it really useful to be able to check my blood glucose levels after eating - once I was seeing lower levels after meals I lost weight - but I suspect it was a response to the low carb levels rather than the cause of them.
