Being 2 stone overweight and going to Cyprus this week I decided to go on a lox carb protein diet. Yes I am losing weight but my bolld sugars are up 6.8 this morning. I am on metfromin and a new drug Staglipin. Any ideas guys. This food thing is driving me crazy.
 
Hi mclaren and welcome to the forum.

Can you give us a bit more information? How does 6.8 compare with what you were getting before your diet change? Can you tell us what you typically eat in a day? Many people undertake what they think is a low carb diet, only to find they have substituted one high carb food for another without realising it.

If you want some advice about food in Cyprus then you could perhaps PM one of our members, Sixfoot, who has just come back after 3 weeks there.
 
Just out of interest I've been on sitagliptin (is that the one you mean ?) for about 8 weeks and it hasn't made a blind bit of difference to my levels - but my circumstances could be very different to yours !
 
Hi Dennis,

My bloods are usually between 5.7-6.3 so I was disappointed to see it has gone up. I still have porridge for breakfast and either eggs or chicken salad for lunch and steak or fish with veg for dinner. I have apples or plums in between if I get hungry. I have lost a few pounds but my sugers are up. Any advise would be great. How do I get in touch with Sixfoot I always put on weight when I go to Cyprus, the food is sooooo good
 
Hi Dingbat,

I was taken of Rosigliterzone because of the problems with it. This is seems to be fine although my sugers are a little higher. I dont know if it is the low carb diet or not. This tablet is suppose to help with my weight but so far it hasn't done. The injection of the same is said to have had an excellent effect in weight loss, as much as 10 kilos but they wont let me have it.
What have they said to you about it?
