Hi all,
Yes its the "wife again". My hubby has now benn very low carbing for almost 3 weeks and no improvement really in BG levels. Around 12.5 on waking, around 14 to 15 at lunchtime after bacon and egg or omelette for breakfast. Salad at lunchtime, stubbornly still around 12 - 13 before dinner of fish/ meat green "above ground veggies.
GP will " call him" to discuss in another 2 weeks ( earliest appointment!).
He is getting a bit down now, no energy, tired all the time and frankly feels hungry a lot of the time .
He isn't overweight and is obviously losing more weight from the strict diet. Dipped his urine and showing ketones as you would expect.
On glyclizide 40mgs one in the morning and metformin 850mgs twice daily.
