[QUOTE="Higaomo, post: 2480251, member: 549737"] Thanks :) What is “the ND”, please? The day I was diagnosed I immediately cut out as much carb from my diet as possible - the only carbs I have been having is 1 slice of low carb bread (toast - the only breakfast I can stomach at 6am) and what was in the fruit and veg I ate. I am still going to stay low carb with my diet, just not quite as low as I previously restricted myself to. I am allowing myself a small amount of carb (eg one small roast potato or one Yorkshire Pudding with roast dinner, but not both) - I am very aware that I cannot ever revert to my previous way of eating (using the Eatwell Guide, which advises carbs as 1/3 of the plate, which I always thought was a healthy eating plan!). I feel that will be much easier for me to sustain in the long term. It was the higher dose of Metformin that made me miserable - constant low level nausea, made worse by the smell of cooking (which meant I’ve eaten very little hot food in the last couple of months) and a horrible taste in my mouth (like overripe/rotten fruit). Since reducing the dose a few days ago these have almost gone now. [/QUOTE]
