[QUOTE="Brunneria, post: 1295045, member: 41816"] Hi and welcome! I see that you are on Metformin, Gliclazide, Pioglitazone. So it is important to realise that you can't just slash the carbs in your diet without seeing some serious drops in your blood glucose. With those meds on top, you could risk hypoing. Have you been given a meter to test your blood glucose? And how many g of carbs have you been eating a day? And what have your blood glucose reading been on that many carbs? You may find that gradually reducing your carbs, watching your blood glucose reduce and then reducing your medication (with the advice of your health team) is a better way of doing things. In which case, the diabetes.co.uk low carb programme may be a gentle way into low carb eating (link in my signature, or at the bottom of the main site webpage). It is a free 10 week course, and there have been some fantastic success stories out of the programme. :) [/QUOTE]
