i can honestly put my hand over my heart and say for once i have never cheated on this diet, i haven't gone over my cals allowance, i am over 22 st and following a low GI diet ( diet chef) and i am allowed 1500 cals in total.
my sugar has now dropped from 8.9 (this is on actos 1 x 30mg and metformin 4 x 500mg) to 5.3 up to 6.4 which wasn't the sugar level when i was told i was up in the 20s and sleeping all the time.
the first and second week i lost weight now i can't loose weight i been on it 6 weeks now and i am getting down, my friend said the first two weeks was fluid and the body even it self out and now the tablets actos is known for weight gain and i should be happy i not gained and stayed the same but its heart breaking, i know in the pass i have abused my body (eating disorders) so am i now paying for it?
he also said i should stopped taking the actos for a week and see how my blood sugar reacts and if i start to loose weight but am scared my sugar might go back up.
am in a puddle of tears what is a good diet? am on the right amounts of cals should i be on less or more i just fed up
i don't need preaching at i need someone to come and help me as i am so low right now.
i hate christmas but thats another story ... can any one help me
