Hi,
I've been away from the forums for a while and also from my Low carb eating. But now I'm back as the nurse wants to increase my meds. My latest Hba1c was 8.8% which for me is terrible. I'm planning my food shopping and meal plans from this weekend, after I've been paid and will be back on the very low carb wagon. But my question is Linagliptin, is this really suitable for me? I'm on 1500mg SR Metformin and desperately need to lose weight. Reading up on this it makes your body produce more insulin, but my worry is that excess insulin gets stored as fat? Is that right? So would this not be counter productive?
