Diabesity / Diabetes 1 year ago I am half way through the book and am excited to start the program. My biggest concern is that due to my last A1C at 7.3 my doctor has increased my oral meds and I worry about lows. Currently I am taking Janumet and amaryl. I have had some recent lows and use the glucose tablets to raise my sugars. I am really motivated to get off this medicine and better control my blood sugar. I have been diabetic for 10 years. Reading the posts on this community has encouraged me to begin this program.
If you are concerned about your blood sugar levels dropping be sure to see your doctor and discuss that. They can tell you what to do in advance if your readings get too low. Margaret
Thanks Margaret. I plan to make an appt. with my doctor this week to go over this plan.
I hope your doctor–or a nutritionist that she or he recommends–will help you adjust the meds according to the food you are eating–not wait until you get ”lows” from a low carb diet. I’ve had so many ”lows” in the past, as a (formerly) insulin dependent diabetic. ”Lows” are the worst feeling ever. I feel that they also contribute greatly to a pattern of eating or drinking too much to compensate for the low. Now, a month off on insulin (because of having completed my first 6 weeks on The Blood Sugar Solution diet), I feel like I am getting my life back!
