[QUOTE="Higaomo, post: 2497144, member: 549737"] I have an update... After my January blood test the nurse halved my Metformin dose, from 1000mg twice a day to 500mg twice a day, and for the last 8 weeks I have slightly increased the amount of carbs in my diet - now averaging 70-80g a day (increased from well under 50 in the first 3 months after being diagnosed), which feels much more sustainable for me in the long term. The nurse expected this would result in a small rise, but at 34 she said that would be fine. I’ve also lost another 10lb (makes 60lb in total), dropped another dress size and my BMI is 22.5 Had another blood test yesterday morning. The nurse rang me this afternoon with the result - 33. Now she’s concerned that if it continues falling my blood glucose could go too low... She’s told me to stop the Metformin immediately and continue eating as I have been eating for the last couple of months. Next blood test in another 8 weeks time... [/QUOTE]
