[QUOTE="meercat, post: 385817, member: 62697"] I don't think it is carb content in my diet, I always knew I was at risk of diabetes for many years so have always followed a lowish carb diet. A couple of bad habits had crept in (OH likes have sweets in the car when we go on long journeys, and I like pastry a lot and drank a lot of fresh orange juice), however they have been cut out almost completely. Also my appetite is next to zero as an example, I went out for a meal, I managed half the starter and couldn't even bring myself to touch the main, I just sat and looked at it. I have just spoken to the diabetic nurse today (had an episode). One thing I asked was my last potassium test which was low and that was in April. my suspicion based on previous experience is that my potassium levels are now exceptionally low, if that is the case a few minutes of googling tell me that insulin and metformin effect potassium levels, which might explain how I feel.
