Hi All, I hope you are all very well. I haven't been on here for a while, I was doing OK on Metformin 1000mg twice a day, but over the past few months my BG has soared. DN put me on Januvia which had zero effect, so I've stopped that, she has given me Gliclazide now but I'm afraid of putting on weight. By all accounts that's what it does, correct me if I'm wrong. I don't eat a lot as it is. I thought I would give LCHF a serious go, it's only day three and my BG is hovering around 13.8 which is a lot better than the 19s and 20s I was getting. Does it take a while?
Also the DN has given me a starting dose of Gliclazide of 80mg twice a day, is that not a bit high? I haven't had the prescription filled out yet. She says she believes I will end up on Insulin. Really unhappy about this, plus I have dreadfully slow transit which is making life misery. I don't know what to eat anymore, the Gastro Bloke says to eat for the diabetes first and rely on laxatives and suppositories. Sorry if that's too much info, just wanted to share : )
Thanks for looking
