[QUOTE="diadieter, post: 1114543, member: 286500"] HI I'm baaaaaack!!! Started my ND today. I'm going to post what I'm eating today in a separate post. I hope that's OK. I don't want to break the rules and be banned because I really like this site. I think it's AWESOME!!! I LOVE it. It's really helping me!!! Ok. I'm going to explain my diabetes and metformin as best I can. Basically, I only have diabetes if I overeat. If I follow a moderate diet, eating around 40-80 carbs in a meal, my blood goes to normal within 2 hours. So I don't need metformin. If I DON'T eat moderately, if I BINGE eat, then my blood sugar is not normal and I think the highest I recorded it was 170? 180?, but if I take metformin with overeating, like maybe 200 carbs? it returns to normal range in 2 hours, that's with 500 mg metformin, which here in USA is 1 pill. Now... if I overeat and do NOT take metformin, then I get symptoms, like tingling hands, feet, and feet hurt when I walk on them, trouble sleeping, full stomach which takes a long time to empty/digest, etc., etc., and all that means the blood sugar is high and those are the symptoms. So if I take metformin when I don't need it, when the carbs are not too much and my body is processing them normally, then I feel shaky because then my blood sugar is too low. So basically, if I eat moderatey, I shouldn't take metformin at all because it's too much and my body doesn't need it. I am 5-6 and today I weigh 225. Mynormal weight range is 130-155 and my normal weight is 132. I don't have diabetes when I am normal weight, that's why I want to do this 600 cal/day diet. [/QUOTE]
