Message: <blockquote data-quote="RachelN76" data-source="post: 2268984" data-attributes="member: 506775">I posted a few weeks ago about having a sudden increase in blood sugars, and not wanting to do low carb, high fat. Had a chat with my lovely GP, who first suggested gastric bypass (I can’t do that, I’m way too scared), so we decided I would do VLCD instead in combination with semaglutide. Well,  it’s not easy.  But I’ve done it before, and knew what I was letting myself in for.but I’m now 4 weeks in.  I’ve lost 7.5kg (I think about 17lb).  I’ve stopped all diabetic meds except semaglutide and metformin. Blood sugars are down from 25 to about 6.5.  And as an added bonus my blood pressure has gone from 140/80 medicated, to about 100/70 unmedicated. so all I have to do now is just carry on, and basically never eat carbs again!</blockquote>
