[QUOTE="Pinkerbell, post: 544830, member: 64730"] HI Ian, I was reading your thread on lchf diet with interest! I'm not on insulin yet and they do give me regular cpeptide tests which I'm told are still within an acceptable range, although I don't know the figures. I think they have to do them as I am relying on a drug called repaglinide which forces your body to produce more insulin. I'm a little concerned about forcing my poor beleaguered pancreas to do anything! but metformin didn't agree with me: for some reason, I kept feeling faint and getting readings as low as 1.8 several times a day. This stopped as soon as I came off it and now it never goes any lower than 3.5. Reading through a few threads here, I'm amazed at the variation in care and procedure. I regularly am getting readings in the high teens for several hours after a meal and it is almost always above 10 in the morning and yet they still don't want to start with insulin because my ac1 is acceptable at 6.5% I'm considering the lchf diet, however I have some concerns, firstly my appetite, which is nonexistent during the day due to nausea. My weight, bmi 20 and probably falling and my cholesterol, which I was recently told was a bit high at 6.5. I recently had a fasting test to determine the levels of HDL vs LDL, but don't yet have those figures back. I'm not sure how the lchf diet might impact on my particular circumstances. [/QUOTE]
