Eating a low carb diet can be challenging at times; less choice, low energy episodes and difficulty when eating out and socialising.  It struck me that, if certain carbohydrates had less effect that it would widen my choice without unduly affecting my health.  It was then when I became aware of the FreeStyle Libre and it really sparked my interest.This also sparked more fundamental questions, such as ‘do I actually have diabetes’, ‘what are safe results’.  I think these have been more or less answered and I feel confident moving forward abandoning the Metformin and using my results to guide me.  I still want to follow a low carb diet, but I also want the freedom to deviate from that without undue consequences.I hope that has explained my aims a bit better.Kind regardsKate</blockquote>
