[QUOTE="Pipp, post: 2471591, member: 100904"] Hi [USER=210986]@Emmasethy[/USER]. Sorry you are so worried. Have you been offered any other medication apart from Metformin? How did you manage to get your levels to remission previously? How long did you try low carb / keto? Reason I ask this, is that I am wondering if you made the transition to low carb too quickly. If you had been on high carb low fat diet and made a sudden change that could have been what made you “feel not great”. I experienced that several years ago, when I abruptly changed diet to low carb, high fat. I hadn’t realised that the H in LCHF, could mean healthy , rather than high, and included too much butter cheese and cream in my new regime. I did feel ill with that. It took a few months to get the balance right, and gain good control of my BG levels. If you are wanting to follow a wholefood diet, I would be concerned about the carb content of the wholegrains. All carbohydrates convert to sugars when we eat them. Also, I am wondering why you want to eliminate as much fat as you can? Fat in food does not convert to sugar, so would not be responsible for your increased HbA1c. I think some members have regained control of BG levels from higher than your 94. It is generally done by low carb way of eating. Though some new medication may be a short term answer. Perhaps you could have a look through the success stories, as a way to learn from the experiences of others. Hopefully some members who have had similar struggle will come along with suggestions and support. [/QUOTE]
