I have never added them all up before, but just done today's and it is about 250g - which is a typical day.
Any idea how many grams of carbs a day you are eating at the moment?
Many on this forum eat less then 100g.I have never added them all up before, but just done today's and it is about 250g - which is a typical day.
Baring in mind your 3 diabetic medications, I think a gentle reduction in carb levels might be helpful to your HBA1C and energy levels. What don't you like about lower carb eating?
What "carbless" food are you referring too that you don't like?Will try and do this. I don't like the carb-less food.

How about meat? Cheese?Vegetables, fruit, eggs, fish
There you go. That's as low carb as you can goYes, meat & cheese are ok
Are you/were you a smoker? Lung problems can make you very tired.Hello
I have been type 2 for just over a year, but ever since diagnosis my energy levels have gradually gone down, and all my muscles getting weaker.
I have had every blood test possible at the Drs - for anything that could be causing this - other than diabetes but all have come back normal.
Yesterday I had a lazy day at the beach, round of crazy golf- but today woke up with every muscle in my body aching & no energy to do anything! This is how I am now, permanently.
I am taking Metformin, Algoliptin & dapagliflozin. After being high for most of the year, my blood sugars are now only slighter than they should be.
A great sentence taken from this site - 'In people with diabetes, insufficient insulin prevents the body from getting glucose from the blood into the body's cells to use as energy'. This is exactly how I feel.
If my blood sugars are now near normal - why do I feel so ****, all the time? How do I get some energy?! Could I be wrongly diagnosed as type 2 & be something else?
Thank you
