[QUOTE="Glink, post: 1951907, member: 254742"] If I lost that kind of weight I would literally be dead. I'm just trying to keep tabs on my weight in case there are changes that should sound the alarm, but this episode makes me realise I don't know how much change is too much. FWIW, I've been on a LC diet for 3 years now. I went very LC a few years ago when I was first diagnosed pre-D and it helped my sugars immensely, but that's been less and less effective over time (we keep upping the metformin but eventually that will max out I suppose). About a year ago now I increased from very LC to just LC because my regular bike commute was tiring me and I was too hungry. At the time that bit of carb increase (from <50 to ~75/day) seemed to help and not have ill effects on my sugars, but now I'm feeling hungry all the time again. HbA1c was still good 6 mo ago when I last had testing. Something weird is going on with my case, and I accept that--it just makes it hard to know when weird is just weird and when it's an actual problem. [/QUOTE]
