[QUOTE="catapillar, post: 1217207, member: 32394"] In March/April I decided to try to reduce my carb intake a bit - before thinking about reducing it, standard carb intake was probably 150 - 250 a day. So I've tried to find lower carb alternatives. I wouldn't say I'm especially low carb. Usually around 100 per day, but anything from 70 - 130. Low carbing hasn't especially changed my diabetic control to be honest. I've lost about half a stone - I'm 5 ft 1, my weight is now fluctuating between 7 st 10 and 8st. BMI is about 21 - bang in the middle of a healthy range. I try to work out at least 5 times a week. But that's not a change on before. Nb) I'm very single - seriously, there's no chance I'm pregnant. I've not had a period since end of April. I've had a couple of occasions when my blood sugars been doing funny things, and I've felt a bit premenstrual. But no actual period. I'm a little bit irregular by a couple weeks here or there. But is not standard for me to just not have anything for so long. Do any ladies have any experience on whether this is a low carb thing? And if so, whether that's inherently a bad thing, if I'm not especially fussed about fertility? [/QUOTE]
