[QUOTE="ickihun, post: 1232966, member: 196960"] I totally agree. My new dietician is a good listener and has asked me to increase my carbs to 130g per day. I did for 3weeks. I'm on double my insulin units. 2000mg metformin too. Previously i was on 30-50g carbs but i was eating too much protein instead of more veg. I only needed 44units on an evening to start my day averaging 6.0mmol/l and no metformin. Now. The metformin is needed for hormones, even on low carb. I started getting palpatations (overactive thyroid as on 200mg levothyroxine). I was given a beta blocker. Felt very very ill so increased carbs back to 50-100gs daily. No palpatations. In the future i will reduce my levothyroxine before reducing my carbs to 30g to see if the solution. I will monitor my own blood pressure and stop beta blocker if blood pressure gets too low. Then make an appointment with gp for tablets to be reduced. I aim to reduce my insulin need and blood pressure tablet and thyroid med. All with a 30g carb diet. [USER=320568]@datkins65[/USER] . As you appreciate the right diet can make all the difference. Hopefully. [/QUOTE]
