Ok - so i'm not full blown diabetic yet - but according to my doc, I'm "pre-diabetic" because I'm Insulin Resistant (plus both my parents ARE diabetic and i'm pretty much next in line

I've been on metformin for about a year and 4 months now and I've only JUST finally listened to my doctor who's the one who told me to go on atkins (started 2 weeks ago!!)

now - I don't measure my blood sugar - but today I seriously felt like something wasn't right and I'm afraid that my blood sugar might have gone way down...I take 4 metformin pills/day (2*500 at lunch and then again at dinner)

I didn't want to eat something sugary - and the only thing we even have in the house, that's not like cookies or something (no fruit as i'm still in induction) - instead I had about 2 tbsp of natural peanut butter (6 g carbs 2 g fiber / 4 g net carbs..) as well as a tbsp of sugar free jelly (5 g carbs)

that made me feel a bit better - but I just want to know if any of you who may have a drop in blood sugar - what do you do when that happens? I'm seriously trying to stop eating sugar & white flour and really do this plan right (which, believe me, it was really hard not to grab that oreo cookie! but I didn't!!

I DID go to the gym this afternoon and while I didn't burn that many calories (according to my heart monitor, only 175 calories in 1 hour - I did a chest & arms weight lifiting workout) - it was after that that I seriously felt weak...

I came home and ate a meal and felt a bit better but then fell asleep because I had a HUGE headache. I just woke up after a 3 hour nap and still felt shaky, so that's when I had the peanut butter/jelly.

Anyways - what do you guys do when you feel shakey like this? When your blood sugar drops? Thanks!!!!!
