Hello,
I started a Low Carb diet two weeks ago and so far I have lost 5 lbs. I put on 2.5 stone since I started injecting insulin and am keen to get rid of it. I have secondary T3C diabetes and take Metformin 750 mg twice a day, Aphidra after meals and Lantus at night.
My question is this:
Since I started the diet my BS levels have improved so dramatically that I no longer need to take the Aphidra after meals or the background Lantus at night. ( If I do take the Lantus I go into a Hypo). I am still on the Metformin. Obviously this is a result of the diet which I will be on until I get back to a reasonable weight, but surely this is a temporary situation?
How will I be able to maintain the good BS when I am back to eating more normally? Also will it do me any harm not taking the Lantus?
