My husband is 275, and only five foot nine, so he's very overweight. He has type II diabetes and is on several different meds.

After seeing me lose five pounds last week, he lowered his carbs a lot, and lost a few pounds ina few days himself. However, we are wondering how low a diabetic can go who is on meds. He says that if he doesn't have enough carbs his blood sugar will dive, and he will get shaky and pass out (which can also lead to coma eventually). His meds regulate his blood sugar level, which makes this situation more likely to occur if he doesn't have carbs.

Anyone else out there with type II and on meds? How do you handle it? What is your daily carb count?

Thanks for any help you can provide.
