rude people, turnips, current diabetic support
To everybody that supported me in my dark moment - many thanks. The good news is I went back to basics and discovered that the milk in my coffee pushed me over the limit of 20 carbs Yes I know silly mistake I now use n half teaspoon double cream. The good news is this morning I am a full kilogram down and a whopping 4 cm around middle and 2 cm every where else.. Total carbs for today 14. My sugar levels have dropped so dramatically that I had two hypos. Saw doctor on Friday, he is not my diabetic doctor but very understanding and impressed with my short term success. Took me of the gliclazide and put me back on metformin slow release.( still on setagliptin) I was on metformin with success at the start of my diabetes journey but i had such bad diarrhoea after 2 years that I couldn't leave the house. The LCHF eating changed my life ibs and tummy problems are gone. My first tablet metformin 500mg this morning went well on the second one I was running - lets just say 4 hours later i am writing this post. Any advice? I see on some posts to cut fat?? I am not changing my diet ever. Cutting dairy? or do I just have 1 tablet and see how it goes and add 2nd later. I know metformin is a great drug and hypos are not a problem. My sugars are between 4.3 - and highest 7.1 today afer the diarrhia started. I think I can get away with 1 only? Any advice
My apologies if this post must be under the medication section but I want to hear from LCHF diet point of view
