[QUOTE="Rachox, post: 1773041, member: 400972"] Hi Walter, I’m saddened that you feel so low. I’m on Metformin, I’ve taken it for nearly a year since my diagnosis last year. I had to be near a loo for the first week but after that have tolerated it really well. You could ask for the extended release version if things don’t improve for you. I eat low carb aswell to control my sugars and lose weight, but it’s not all rabbit food. For breakfast everyday I eat low carb coconut ‘porridge’ with strawberries and cream, for lunch today I had cold roast chicken, cauliflower, brocolli and pork scratchings followed by Greek yoghurt and blueberries. I had a high protein chocolate snack bar and coffee mid afternoon and I’ve been to a restaurant for a carvery this evening (just went easy on the spuds and Yorkshire pud). Have a look at the thread ‘what have you eaten today?’ in the low carb forum, we eat pizza, cakes and biscuits too, just low carb versions :hungry: I was diagnosed on a routine blood test for something else so it was a huge shock for me but once I’d got to grips with things and started to feel better I realised how poorly I had been feeling. I do hope you can find a way to deal with this yourself. Stick around for support and info and ask anything you need to know. [/QUOTE]
