[QUOTE="mouseee, post: 2155719, member: 511004"] I don't know your numbers for your hba1c but I am t2 and have only been on one medication, metformin, and have halved my levels from 101 to 46 in 12 weeks with a low carb diet. I have also lost weight and 4 inches off my waist. You need to check you bs before eating and 2 hours after and then see what the difference is then. If it's more than 2 pts up then you've eaten things to avoid in the future. I went to meat and veg with only about 50g of carbs a day and have been reintroducing things. I might eat a quarter slice bread, never potatoes and no pasta or rice. Rice is one thing pretty guaranteed to raise bs by what most people on here say. Also, I am sure someone will come on and talk about the high fat aspect of LCHF as that really helps with energy levels and might mean you can work out more. I haven't skimped on get although not gone mad and still lost weight and gained energy. There is loads of advice to be gained here. Just ask. Also, if the medication is making you go up and down so much I would strongly suggest speaking to your HCP about what's going on. [/QUOTE]
