Low Blood Sugars
I've been following the LC for a little while now and my blood sugars have been dropping too low. I reduced the amount of medication I'm taking and they're still droping too low!
For the past two days I've had to add a carb here and there just too bring my levels up to normal. Won't this defeat the purpose of the LC WOL? Last night I had to drink 1/2 a cup of regular pop because my sugars were so low, and then this morning I added a slice of whole wheat toast with 2 poached eggs.
I'm taking Metformin 3 a day (one in the morning, one after lunch, one after supper) I'm also taking 4 Glyburinde (Diabeta) tablets a day 2 in the morning and 2 before my evening meal. I've dropped it down to one in the morning and one before my evening meal. I'm considering taking the evening ones out all together so I can at least sleep without checking my sugar every two hours - so I don't go into a diabetic coma or something!
Have other people had these results? My doctor doesn't want me on the LC thing so I haven't told her or I'll be in deep crap! LOL! Has anyone here gone completely off their meds eating this way?
