[QUOTE="MrsA2, post: 2465546, member: 521715"] [USER=551195]@cien[/USER] on the meds you are on it is dangerous to go straight to low carb quickly. Your sugars could drop too quickly and you could go into ketoacidosis which is life threatening. Its rare in type 2s so medics might miss it if you did. Better is to reduce carbs a little a time over a longer period of time. So example, reduce one oat cake for a week but don't change anything else. The next week reduce another oatcake, the next week reduce soemthing else. If you do it slowly, and watch to see as your bg drops whether your meds need reducing in alignment, then you should be OK Just don't rush it. Edited for typos [/QUOTE]
