[QUOTE="Resurgam, post: 1782865, member: 355878"] Oh sorry - I'd forgotten about the drinking and Metformin - even though I suffered so much with it. I suspect that once the HCPs have you on it they don't want you to stop - but lowering weight doesn't come into it as a definite improver of BG levels - low carbing dropped my levels to 47 with very little weight loss - but I have lost over 40lb since my levels dropped to normal. I am now working on getting more muscle so I don't become old and feeble. I am a long time low carber, and quite honestly I prefer the foods I can eat to those considered 'normal' these days. I have devised a Yorkshire pudding made with cream and water rather than milk and I do eat several of those, on the few day's a year I make them - but even after Christmas dinner my BG level was 5.6 - so I can't really call that a cheat day - I had a similar meal on Christmas Eve and got the same reading without the Yorkshires. I know that I can eat more carbs and keep a low BG level - but I start to regain weight as fat, which is not something I want to do. [/QUOTE]
