Hey guys,
I hope you're all doing well. I just had my first blood test results since diagnosis in March and I thought I would share to show the effect of lowering my carbohydrate intake to 100g or less per day.
I'm 31 and was diagnosed with Diabetes in March and initially put on Novorapid and Lantus - I had C-pep and GAD antibodies test and confirmed as type 2. I made the decision to drop the insulin and now I take 1000mg Metformin twice a day, exercise daily and try to keep carbs below 100g a day. Sometimes I go over but usually I'm under.
Any feedback is welcome.
Cheers.
