Apologies for the negative post but I’m feeling defeated today and I’m wondering what I’m doing wrong.
Was diagnosed with HB1ac of 80 3 weeks ago today. Started metformin 500mg x 2 twice a day, so 2000mg per day a few days later (delayed due to work commitments)
I’d started eating low carb before diagnosis, so approx 4 was ago and I feel I’ve been really good.
I haven’t lost a single pound in weight since eating lchf....not one
Also testing bg daily, managed to get this down from average 23mmol, dropping last week to even below 10mmol one day
Now this week I’m back up in the low teens and can’t work out why?? I’m feeling generally exhausted, have blurred vision, and starting to feel so fed up.
I did the Newcastle diet five years ago, and kept this in remission for five years, so I’m thinking if maybe trying that again. It’s tough, and I’d feel worse if it didn’t work, but I’m not seeing great results from what I’m doing.
Can anyone enlighten me please?
Thanks
