[QUOTE="HSSS, post: 2093295, member: 480869"] The vast majority of type 2 in here eat low carb because yes it works. We all do slightly different versions or follow different diet authors but the principle remains the same. As far as glic goes the danger is a rapid decrease in carbs means the glic no longer has the glucose to cancel out and ends up taking you too low, possibly into hypo territory. The ideal would be to discuss the plan with your dr and with their agreement either stop it first or monitor very closely adjusting dose downwards to suit readings and diet. Not all drs are on board with low carb though so then your choices become somewhat trickier and we can’t tell you what to do about meds (not allowed to as we’re not drs). Many reduce or come off the gliclazide with this way of eating as it becomes unnecessary and too strong a medication when numbers improve. [/QUOTE]
