[QUOTE="Oldvatr, post: 2459863, member: 196898"] If you are doing a VLC diet such as ND, then you should not be using any diabetic medication that can lower blood glucose. The ND is supposed to be done under medical supervision, and going it alone is not advised. Are you using the shakes? The doctor is following the guidelines for the ND intervention even though he has not prescribed it per se. The ND diets should not be used if your BMI at the start is less than 30 (diabetic) or 35 (non diabetic/ prediabetic) according to the DIRECT Protocol which provided the evidence to support the diet in the GP care setting.
