[QUOTE="Resurgam, post: 2448393, member: 355878"] I just cut down the carbs. I lost weight without even thinking about it, but found the medication pretty dire and could not go on taking it after the 5 most miserable weeks of my life. Luckily I did not need it and just coming up to 5 years from diagnosis I am absolutely fine. As your Hba1c is - a bit high (English understatement engaged) it would seem to infer that your blood glucose tends to be a bit high too. It is recommended that carbs are reduced slowly in order to allow your body time to adapt to the change. Sometimes being denied a warm sugary bath causes tantrums. They are soothed by taking a warm drink and a tiny amount of carbs - I found that just three grapes did the trick. It is called a false hypo, but it can be rather alarming if you are not expecting it. [/QUOTE]
