I have been low carbing for a couple of months,  but I am not truly sure on the ratios of protein, fat and fibre. I have a lot of weight to lose, about 8 stone to go, already lost 4 stone though. I usually manage to stick to 50g carbs a day and around 1000 calories, sometimes a few more calories if I have managed some exercise. So... what numbers should I be aiming for for my fats, proteins and fibre??? Any advice would be a great help please?! I am on 500mg metformin,  once a day. Just finished my first months supply of Glucient SR, this new prescription is now called metabit sr. The leaflets in each pack read slightly differently..  glucient sr says, avoid ketoidosis and take extra care with diuretics, now the metabit sr says, don't get in ketosis and take extra care if taking bendroflumethiazide, which I have been  taking for over a year, well before my diagnosis of type 2 in late December /January this year! I am beginning to feel a bit of a guinea pig! Is anyone else in the same or similar position?  I am not due for a blood test, to check my kidney function,  liver function and cholesterol levels until the beginning of April. Do any of you folks have any advice with this issue please?Looking forward to reading your observations... thank you,  in advance ☺</blockquote>
