[QUOTE="Skippy1, post: 2450162, member: 350274"] I am struggling with low carb/increasing BG levels too. My readings have risen from below 10 to constantly high 20s and sometimes 30/HI over the past few months (no high ketones). I take victosa/liraglutide and have also been taking gliclazide for about 4 weeks - that seems to have some effect with recent number coming in at about 20-25. I've been low carb since 2012, keeping below 50g/day with a couple of 24/36 hour fasts each week. I eat meat/cheese/eggs, salad and above ground veg, sugar free jelly and berries, occasional piece of high cocoa chocolate. I was diagnosed with cancer in May and lost 10kg in the past month. A c-peptide test a few years ago came back at over 2000 (range <600), so I was producing plenty of insulin, but the GP's response is to start insulin - this doesn't make sense to me. Any suggestions for my next move? [/QUOTE]
