[QUOTE="Peppergirl, post: 1508416, member: 330374"] Hi I switched to low carb last August mainly to improve my blood sugars but I also need to lose weight like you (bit more). I embraced the high fat part of LCHF a bit too much at the start LOL so weight came off slowly. I've now had a serious word with myself and now I'm eating much less fat, but not eliminating or scared of fat though. I reduced my basal first and recorded everything, started using the libre and then it's all about testing and trial and error. I'm taking 23 units of tresiba (basal) and no more then 10u novorapid a day. I was on 18u of lantus twice a day and up to 50u of novorapid (whatever I thought I needed, not based on any testing). I have lost a stone over the last year, more since I've focused on less fat and more low carb veggies (cauli rice is good). Also started metformin with no adverse reaction, so can't say for sure whether it helps but it might be, so I'll carry on. Best of luck [/QUOTE]
