[QUOTE="Resurgam, post: 1641638, member: 355878"] I gave up almost all carbs during the first weeks after diagnosis - was right down to my lower limit of about 25 to 30 - took Metformin and a statin and had the most awful reaction to it, so I don't think it could have been the mix of carbs and Metformin which caused my troubles, particularly as I took the Metformin in the morning and ate carbs in the evening. I went low carb from the moment I was told the diagnosis - I did have a few slightly wobbly moments as my blood glucose dropped, but I ate three grapes and drank some water and they went away, I did that a few times and the wobbly moments stopped. I already knew my lower limit for carbs when coming from a high carb diet - the doctors forced me onto diets many times - but I always felt so ill, I have never been better than when low carbing. Personally I eat low carb foods, under 11 percent net carbs rather than try to eat small amounts of high carb foods - except for high cocoa chocolate, which I try to ration, and most days succeed.
