Yes, it's like trying to drive with a foot on the brake and accelerator!Are you still taking meds? Maybe see if your doc says you can try stopping them.
You want to get lower blood glucose levels so trying to raise them is a bit counterproductive.
Did you feel ill when they were at those levels
I feel a bit weak, not much energy - but not sweating or tremors like the other day ( although I had fasted, fasted for 24 hours - zero food)Are you symptomatic when your sugars are at that level? If not then there’s no need to worry about getting them higher unless you’re on any medication that risks hypo. I believe you’re just on Metformin if I remember correctly?
Are you drinking enough and having enough salt?I feel a bit weak, not much energy - but not sweating or tremors like the other day ( although I had fasted, fasted for 24 hours - zero food)
I am not on anything other than metformin or Xenical.
Maybe time to cut down or drop your Metformin depending on your dose, but consult your dr first, just incase there anything else going on.I feel a bit weak, not much energy - but not sweating or tremors like the other day ( although I had fasted, fasted for 24 hours - zero food)

Oh Zenicol? That’s that med that stops you absorbing fat isn’t it, for weight loss. That’s working against LCHF then as you’re not absorbing the fat needed for energy.Are you drinking enough and having enough salt?
Why are you taking the Xenical? That's the first thing I'd ditch.

So was I.. 23 stoneBecause I’m fat
So was I! This time last year I was 115kg and a size 20, I’m now 78.6kg and a size 14. That’s on what I describe as LCMF (low carb moderate fat) and Metformin.Because I’m fat
Ok thanks!So was I.. 23 stone
However eating a low carb high fat diet has got me down to 15 stone (still overweight but nowhere near as bad) and controlled my Type 2. The drug you are taking is making you feel ill and hungry. It's not necessary to lose weight. Cutting out carbs will help you lose weight in a much better way. So as I say in your shoes feeling as you do that completely unnecessary drug would be the first thing out of the window to be replaced by some decent real food. But that's just me...

I will check it out thanks!A quick google of the side effects of Xenical raised an eyebrow. I'm not sure how I would weigh up the risks of kidney problems from T2 with the possible risks of kidney problems from taking this drug.
I used be on xenical (Orlistat) never lost nowt though and the side effects!!!!I feel a bit weak, not much energy - but not sweating or tremors like the other day ( although I had fasted, fasted for 24 hours - zero food)

Brilliant weight loss btw!!!So was I.. 23 stone
