I know it's not a big jump but I've really been trying with the low carb and have lost a little weight, I just don't get it.  Also my cholesterol has increased as well in this period, I know it's going back 3 months but I'm so confused and disappointed with these results, particularly the HBA1C, when I was first diagnosed I followed the exact low carb diet I'm doing now and it worked amazingly well, I was taking Metformin then, should I possibly ask to be put back on that maybe at a higher dose?  I've noticed when I've been checking my own bloods at home they were too high so the results probably shouldn't have been so surprising but I'm just gutted.  Sorry for the rant, this has just floored me today.Maggie</blockquote>
