I took the liberty of looking up what meds your prescribed on your profile..? "Metformin, Glargine, Liraglutide, Gliclazide, simvastatin, Aspirin"With regards to lowering your carb intake with the Glargine running as a basal (long acting background insulin.) be very cautious of possible recuring hypos regarding your prescribed fixed dosage..The gliclazide too stimulates the pancreas to help produce your own insulin. More caution needed with lowering carbs.Both gliclazide & metformin stop the liver dumping glycogen into your bloodstream which could cause a faster BS drop?Along with insulin sensitivity increase with the aformentioned metformin...I wish you well achieving your goal. But please bear this in mind when changing a long standing diet with regards to your current medication & set dosage.Keep your meter handy at all times!</blockquote>
