[QUOTE="Mbaker, post: 1272727, member: 256617"] Hi I managed a "6" eating porridge circa 200 grams (ouch), typical lunch of either salmon, seabass/bream or mackerel on home made soda bread and 2 home made scones, with a dinner of moderate potatoes or basmati rice. This was all during my ignorant phase, before finding this site. In order to achieve the 6, I was on 2 x Metformin and over-worked out (burned muscle). The 6 was disappointing at the time as my fasting morning reading was usually 4's; this I equated to the carb spikes pushing up the A1C. I am now looking forward to my next HbA1C which will incorporate my low carb good fat period and removal of metformin, as I know my blood sugar is more stable throughout the day. For me the higher carb, metformin and intensive workouts was not sustainable. The change to low carb and removal of metformin has lost me 3 kgs since August so far. Often my late afternoon blood sugars are in the 4's (this is usually with at least 1 workout in-between). Anyone reading this who is considering removing medication should only do so working in conjunction with there health professional (just to be honest I did not (but should of), I moved slowly from 2 x 500 mg metformin, to 1, then half tablets and finally none, and at each stage detailed testing to see how I was doing.
