[QUOTE="Petaluk, post: 1772587, member: 472096"] On LCMF diet (around 20g) Doctor advised 1 metformin 500mg daily for week then increase to 1000mg a day plus Xenical I did go LFHF diet for first couple of days as undecided about taking meds. Relented and took 1 x 500mg metformin for about 10 days - got my meter in this time and readings were good generally 4 - 5 Did try 1000mg a day but after reading other people’s experiences, thought I didn’t need it, so returned to 1 x 500 mg a day Did try 1 Xenical after a fatty meal, but after googling official medicine info and interactions - have decided not worth it. Today 6 May 2018 I am going diabetic medication free for 3 days and see if there is much difference. I will take my fasting and nighttime bg and 2 hour after breakfast readings( I always eat the same breakfast) From this forum I understand fasting should be under 7 2 hours after a meal should be no more than +2 and bedtime should be 9 or under. I will post my results in 3 days :) [/QUOTE]
