[QUOTE="lobsang, post: 2373627, member: 539395"] Yes my issue with low carb is lack of calories, and protein, it hard enough getting enough protein anyway. My main sources of protein are pulses and substitutes and they are inherently loaded with carbs, thus to reduce my carbs I just reducing what I eat. I need about 2,200 to 2,500 kcals without exercise to maintain I'm aiming for 1,500 to loose a bit of weight but only got 1,300 yesterday and burnt and extra 300 due to exercise. Do that too often and it going to cause other issues. By hungry I mean rumbling stomach for hours before bed, I when to bed with it and got up this morning with the same feeling. I do have a meter and that is estimating HbA1c of 42.9 while the doctors reading a month ago was 57. Exercise stops the hyper spike after eating, even a pathetic 400m walk seam to work 7.1 pre 5.9 post 2 hour, but same breakfast but at my desk to work and 6.6 and 6.3 to 12.5 and 12.1. I will be on metformin, when I collect it, along with Losartan and Amlodipine for the HT. I know I'm inactive as I average under 4000 steps a day. [/QUOTE]
