[QUOTE="Bewildered, post: 982668, member: 176371"] Hi, I have been trying to low carb for a while now. I was diagnosed in January with type 2, have lost 4 stone but still have a bmi of 27. I have generally improved my fasting blood glucose to below 7, and my last hba1c was 'normal', I take metformin 2g. My worry is that I have regular hypos; 3.3, 3.8, and often I catch at a 4 / 4.1. I have eggs for breakfast, just recently added one ryvita, salad and protein for lunch, veg and protein at dinner. I have started to add a small portion of potato at dinner. I have also tried rice (after 2 hrs my bg was under 7). Sometimes I have a homemade soup and another ryvita. So my carbs are low and mostly in veg. I know I need to do something differently to prevent the hypos but I am now scared of carbs!!!! Should I eat more regularly? Should I add more carbs? Do I start to cut down the metformin? On the plus side, having a hypo has meant I get to eat naughty... (Read with sarcasm ) [/QUOTE]
