Have I cut the carbs too much, too soon?

[QUOTE="Signs, post: 263604, member: 42574"] Since I started on glicklazide 5 weeks ago I've gained 5lbs - that doesn't please me! The upside is that my BGs are so much better. Last week I was very careful with the carbs I eat, not counting just cutting out the obvious stuff but still put on a pound. This week I decided I wanted to shed the extra pounds so starting this morning I've been counting the carbs aiming for around 60 a day. My BGs and carbs intake today has been;- 0700 7.1 0730 Took 80mg Glicklazide 0800 Breakfast 1 slice burgen with scrape butter (Usual brekkie) 1045 BG 7.6 1300 BG 6.1 1330 Lunch 2 lamb burgers with 2 slices burgen 40 gram carbs so far leaving me 20 for dinner and supper. 1830 arrived home feeling the start of a hypo - BG 3.5 Had 4 lucozade sweets & then dinner (Fish, no breadcrumbs, dipped in egg and fried) Was still feeling shaky so had a kiwi fruit for desert 1930 BG 6.6 2100 7.5 I was meant to take another glicklazide before dinner but gave it a miss the but had it at 1930. I'm thinking maybe I should have missed it altogether? Did I have too few carbs or did I cut the carbs too quickly? Confused here, I want to cut carbs to control BGs & lose the extra pounds but certainly don't want another hypo. Any advice appreciated. Cheers, John [/QUOTE]
